Lots of places attract cranks and semi-serious people, including the crypto forums I mentioned, LW, and everything-list which was a mailing list I created to discuss anthropic reasoning as one of the main topics, and they’re not that hard to deal with. Basically it doesn’t take a lot of effort to detect cranks and previously addressed ideas, and everyone can ignore the cranks and the more experienced hobbyists can educate the less experienced hobbyists.
EDIT: For anyone reading this, the discussion continues here.
If specially dedicated journal for anthropic reasoning exists (or say for AI risks and other x-risks), it will probably improve quality of peer review and research? Or it will be no morу useful than Lesswrong?
