The thing that seems to me to have gotten worse is what gets upvoted. AI content is the big one here; it’s far too easy to get a high karma post about an AI related topic even if the post really isn’t very good, which I think has a ton of bad downstream consequences. Unfortunately, I think this extends even to the Alignment Forum.
I have no idea what to do about it though. Disagreement voting is good. Weighted voting is probably good (although you’d have to see who voted for what to really know). And the thing where mods don’t let every post through is also good. I wish people would vote differently, but I don’t have a solution.
