Edit: I want to point out how disturbing it is that both the post itself and my comment have been receiving many downvotes from people who don’t think it’s worth their time to explain what they think is wrong with either of them.
With +305 karma at the time of this writing the post has a very high karma count. If you look through recent post the only posts with higher karma are AI risk posts written by very senior people (Eliezer and Paul Christiano).
Without an easy way to look it up it wouldn’t surprise me if +305 karma puts the post in the top 20 posts by karma that exists on LessWrong2.0.
Ege Erdil was referring to a flurry of downvotes that this post got within ~30 minutes of being posted. I don’t remember the exact number, but at the time he made that edit the karma count was quite low due to them.
When I made the edit this was not the case and the post was getting quite a lot of downvotes. Apologies for not including a timestamp. It was like 30 minutes to 1 hour after the post had been published and at some point I think the post had more people that had voted on it than it had net karma with a couple of strong upvotes that I knew had been thrown into the mix, including my own.
