I feel a bit worried that everyone would like to believe that EAs will receive criticism in good faith, so they will be excited to tell you this is true, even if they canât really be that confident. I hope theyâre right, but worry theyâre really saying âI, personally, would receive this in good faith, and I think others ought to, and I donât see why they wouldnâtâ or something like that.
I would guess from things like the Bostrom email controversy that youâll get at least a couple of frustrating comments, and perhaps a small handful people who will be reflexively and unfairly judgemental. I would hope and guess that these experiences will be outweighed by people being grateful for you raising your concerns, including from people who ultimately disagree with the concerns. But obviously itâs hard to be sure (even harder given that I donât know what the concerns are).
Iâm a bit worried this comment raises the barrier to commentary, so let me try to lower it by saying you can feel free to DM me if you think talking to me privately about your post will help you get it published :)
