This seems to imply that doublecruxing isn’t optimized for being observed by an audience. Does this mean that maybe people who are trying to resolve a disagreement in front of and for the benefit of an audience (like the AI safety ones I saw) should do something else instead?
Well, there are two different concerns – what’s the optimal way to doublecrux, and what’s the optimal way to do a public disagreement. I think optimal public disagreements are still better if they’re more doublecrux-esque, although I think it might be better not to call them “doublecruxes” unless it’s expected for the primary interaction to be the core doublecrux loop of “check for what my cruxes are.”
(In general public disagreements are locally worse for the two people’s ability to update than private disagreements, but you sometimes want public disagreement anyway to get common knowledge of their positions)
