I agree this is rather a thing, and I kinda feel like the times I look at LessWrong specifically to read up on what people are saying about their latest AI thoughts feel different to me from the times I am just in a reflective / learning mood and want to read about rationality and worldview building. For me personally, I’m using LessWrong for AI content daily, and would prefer to just have a setting in my account which by-default showed nothing but that. Other stuff for me is a distracting akrasia-temptation at this point. I also agree that for a novice / default user, it doesn’t make sense to flood them with a bunch of highly technical AI posts, often midway through a multi-part series that’s hard to understand if you haven’t been following along. So maybe, a default mode and an AI researcher mode available in settings? Maybe also a ,”I’m not an AI researcher, just show me rationality stuff” mode?
