@GaryMarcus Lesswrong is the worst. Sorry for all the delusional commenters here who think that’s real discourse. Even on topics besides AI where the general bias is less bad it’s still mainly interested in creating the feeling of being brutally honest and intellectually discriminating.

I had recently been encourage to post to Less Wrong and was planning to do so.

If my interactions today are a guide, I am less inclined.

Other people’s views?

The statement is part of a conversation about the quality of discourse on the Less Wrong platform, which is a public issue related to the nature of online discussions and intellectual engagement. The tone is skeptical and critical, suggesting a lack of confidence in the platform's discourse quality.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not directly harm others but expresses a lack of confidence, which could be seen as a critique rather than harmful speech.
  2. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in criticism of the platform but does not attack individuals personally, adhering to the principle of constructive criticism. [+1]
