Agreed, which is why I focused on the AF karma rather than the LW karma
I think it’s worth pointing out that I originally saw this just posted to LW, and must have been manually promoted to AF by a mod. Partly want to point it out because possibly one of the main errors is people updating too much on promotion as a signal of quality
It’s trivially correct to update downward on the de-facto importance of promotion (by however much), but this seems like a bad thing.
Naively, I would like people to make sure they understand the point at
the curation step
the promotion-to-AF step
maybe at the upvote step if you’re a professional AI safety researcher
And if the conclusion is that the post is meaningful despite possibly being misinterpreted, I would naively want the person in charge to PM the author and ask to put in a clarification before the post is curated/promoted.
I say ‘naively’ because I don’t know anything about how hard it would be to achieve this and I could be genuinely wrong about this being a reasonable thing to want.
