Out of curiosity, what was it that convinced you this isn’t an infohazard-like risk?
Some mixture of:
I think it’s pretty valuable to have open conversation about being in an overhang, and I think on the margin it will make those worlds go better by improving coordination. My current sense is that the perspective presented in this post is reasonably frequent among people in ML, so that marginally reducing how many people believe this is not going to do much of a difference, but having good writeups that summarize the arguments seems like it has a better chance of creating some kind of common knowledge that allows people to coordinate better here.
This post more so than other posts in its reference class emphasizes a bunch of the safety concerns, whereas I expect the next post to replace it to not do that very much
Curation in particular mostly sends out the post to more people who are concerned with safety. This post found a lot of traction on HN and other places, so in some sense the cat is out of the bag and if it was harmful the curation decision won’t change that very much, and it seems like it would unnecessarily hinder the people most concerned about safety if we don’t curate it (since the considerations do also seem quite relevant to safety work).
