Um, this is a linkpost. Can you nominate a linkpost to something by a non-Less Wrong-affiliated author? Certainly the comment thread is worth pointing to as evidence of “things we learned in 2019”, but I don’t think the post should be eligible for the voting round?
If this post was very helpful for lots of LWers, that’s valuable info to know (e.g. if it scored highly in the voting round).
I like the post quite a bit. Also, looking at the author’s blog, they seem pretty cool e.g. they write fiction about GPT-3 :)
If it scores well in the review, I would be open to reaching out to the author and asking if they wanted to be fully crossposted and published in our annual essay collection.
I think it could be somewhat confusing if it were included in the book, as though it were an opinion of a LessWronger, even though it wasn’t written by a LessWrong user.
I was considering just nominating the comment section, as I see that Ray has done.
We’re still obviously figuring it all out, and I want to take it on a case-by-case basis. But I tentatively lean ‘yes’.

I’m not sure.
