I see only one clean solution to this problem: Let anyone post at the AI Alignment Forum, do no longer automatically crosspost to Less Wrong, and (somehow) nudge people who post AI content to Less Wrong to instead post it to the AI Alignment Forum. There should be three separate platforms:
Less Wrong, for rationality
AI Alignment Forum, for AI
EA Forum, for effective altruism
Currently, only effective altruism has its own platform, while Less Wrong and the AI Alignment Forum are insufficiently separated.
This way people interested in rationality don’t have to pick it out in midst of AI content, and people interested in AI don’t have to find it in midst of rationality content.
To be clear, I think voluntary crossposts should be still allowed, just as it is allowed to crosspost stuff between EA Forum and Less Wrong.
One problem with this approach is, I think, the difficulty of nudging AI types, who are used to posting on Less Wrong, over to the AI Alignment Forum. Maybe some sort of info box near the post editor could help.
