Raemon and I discussed whether it should be frontpage this morning. Prizes are kind of an edge case in my mind. They don’t properly fulfill the frontpage criteria but also it feels like they deserve visibility in a way that posts on niche topics don’t, so we’ve more than once made an exception for them.
I didn’t think too hard about the epistemics of the post when I made the decision to frontpage, but after John pointed out the suss epistemics, I’m inclined to agree, and concurred with Raemon moving it back to Personal.

I think the prize could be improved simply by rewarding the best arguments in favor and against AI risk. This might actually be more convincing to the skeptics – we paid people to argue against this position and now you can see the best they came up with.
