Too much AI content, not enough content about how to be wrong less.
I don’t like that I can’t take for granted that any particular poster has read the Sequences. Honestly that’s a pretty major crux for how to engage with people. The Sequences are a pretty major influence on my worldview, which should matter a lot for those who want to change my mind about things.
I like Exercises and Challenges. The Babble challenge was cool. So was that time Luke Muelhauser did math in public(!). It would at least be kind of fun and engaging to see more things like this. They also allow people to demonstrate their process and get critiques.
I would like to see more explicit practice of debiasing techniques. I want LessWrong to be more than just a smarter version of Reddit or Twitter. I want to see different types of interactions, that are verifiably truth-loaded. Things sort of in this direction include: Zvi sticking his neck out with covid predictions, public bets, EY’s LK99 crux-mapping, adversarial collaboration, ITT, the anti-kibitzer, and hypothetical apostasy.

Sometimes I think of johnswentworth’s comment about the Fosbury Flop, and I feel some yearning and disappointment.

Note that GreaterWrong has a native anti-kibitzer feature.
