Yeah, I really don’t know yet how we should handle hierarchical tagging. My current model is that “That Alien Message” should just be tagged both AI Alignment and AI Boxing, and that we should be hesitant to have too much formal hierarchy in the tags, since I expect that most relationships will turn out to be only “almost hierarchical” in that it’s not literally always the case the we would want to apply both tags together, and being forced to always have them come in a package is I think pretty costly.
I do think the description of the AI Boxing tag should link to the AI Alignment tag, so that should be edited in. And in general related tags should link to each other a lot, to make it easier to discover content that way.
I do think there will be an appreciable number of tags (even if they’re a minority) that are strictly subsets of, say, AI alignment. Like everything under Value Learning or Embedded Agents, etc, and maybe it’s worth it to have that automatically update.
I do feel tag descriptions linking to other tags is extremely important for the system to work and will help a lot here.
I agree that hierarchy can be used only sparingly and still be very helpful. Perhaps just nesting under the core tags, or something similar.
On special posts where that does not seem to be the case that the hierarchy holds, people can still downvote the parent tag. That is annoying, but may reduce work overall.
