I’ve recently started working through AI safety posts written on LessWrong 1-3 years ago; in doing so I occasionally have questions/comments about the material. Is it considered good practice/in line with LW norms to write these as comments on the original, old posts? One hand I can see why “necro-ing” old posts would be frowned on, but I’m not sure where else to bring it up. You can look at my comment history for examples of what I mean (before I realized it might not be a good idea)
[Question] Is it good practice to write questions/comments on old posts you’re trying to understand?
