I noticed that many people write a lot not only on forums but also on personal blogs and Substack. This is sad. Competent and passionate people are writing in places that get very few views. I too am one of those people. But honestly, magazines and articles are stressful and difficult, and forums are so huge that even if they have a messaging function, it is difficult to achieve a transparent state where each person can fully recognize their own epistemological status. I’m interested in such collaborative blogs, similar to the early Overcoming Bias. I believe that many bloggers and writers need help and that we can help each other. Is there anyone who wants to be with me?

Suggestions for joint blogging
While AI value alignment is considered a serious problem, the algorithms we use every day do not seem to be subject to alignment. That sounds like a serious problem to me. Has no one ever tried to align the YouTube algorithm with our values? What about on other types of platforms?
It is like a seed. Basic trust and support are provided. It is doubtful whether long-term, indefinite provision is necessary. Wouldn’t it be similar to UBI? I don’t know because there is no research. I believe you are begging the question. I can’t agree or disagree with the claim that it will soon return to its initial state without any long-term effects. As for the estimate… I’m not sure. I can’t think of a good measure or anything yet. I might need a psychologist to help me. Perhaps an estimate for mental health or well-being, but I doubt QALYs or DALYs. But as an initial estimate, it seems like a good measure. Alternatively, it could be expressed as pain relief or social support. I confess I had no intention of doing any serious research, as I was simply asking for an idea. It’s more of a question of whether it’s worth it.
Hmm, I’m a little confused. If I cook a meal for someone, it doesn’t seem to mean much. But if no one is cooking for someone, it is a serious problem and we need to help. Of course, I’m not sure if we’re suffering from that kind of “skinship hunger.”
I would like to estimate how effective free hugs are. Can anyone help me?
It’s convincing. Couldn’t it be improved or modified? Does this seem like an idea worth completely abandoning? I can’t think of anything at the moment.
Guilt at EA
I am planning to write post about happiness guilt. I think many of EA would have it. Can you share resources or personal experiences?

Auction-Based Funding
Nobody interested in resuming EA and LW post summaries? Quitting was a very unfortunate choice, I think.
Resolved unresolved issues
One of the things I find difficult about discussing problem solving with people is that they often fall back on shallow causes. For example, if politician A’s corruption is the problem, you can kick him out. easy. Problem solved! This is the problem. Of course, the problem was solved, but the problem was not solved. The natural assumption is that politician B will cause a similar problem again. In the end, that’s the advice people give. “Kick A out!!” Whatever it was. Whether it’s your weird friends, your bad grades, or your weight. Of course, this is a personal problem, but couldn’t it be expanded to a general problem of decision-making? Maybe it would have been better to post it on lesswrong. Still, I’d like to hear your opinions.
Thoughts on project or research auction. It is very cumbersome to apply for funds one by one from Openphil or EA fund. Wouldn’t it be better for a major EA organization to auction off the opportunity to participate in a project and let others buy it? It will be similar to a tournament, but you will be able to sell a lot more projects at a lower price and reduce the amount of resources wasted on having many people competing for the same project.
I’m not very confident on this topic. I was also evaluated as a very weak-hearted and sensitive person. I don’t think it’s up to me to discuss whether they exist or not. But it’s very difficult because HSPs are a shield for many people. I have observed something close to “covert narcissism.” I would like to point out that they tend to describe themselves as “competent and in need of protection.” They want to be overly privileged.
