Short-term change to Frontpage vs Personal classification
Generally, the frontpage vs personal blog status is not based on the quality of the post, only on its timelessness and the relevance of its topic to the general LessWrong audience. However, the mod team is noticing the large influx of AI posts in the last few weeks that are dominating the latest posts list.
To prevent everyone having their latest posts list dominated by default, we are making the temporary decision to only frontpage posts on AI that are above a certain quality bar. If a post seems to be retreading old ground, not be reasoned in depth, or generally doesn’t strike us as advancing the field much, we’ll probably leave it on personal blog for now.
If you want to view all of these posts, ensure that you’ve got “personal blogposts” set to visible on your frontpage.
If you want to keep personal blogposts visible while reducing the number of AI posts shown, you can use the frotnage page tag filters to apply a soft filter (karma penalty) to posts tagged “AI”. Give them a −10 penalty or something.
