The lack of progress here may be a quite good thing.
Did I miss some subtle cultural changes at LW?
I know the founding principles of LW are rationalism and AI safety from the start. But in my mind, LW always has all types of adjacent topics and conversations, with many different perspectives. Or at least this was my impression of the 2010s LW threads on the Singularity and transhumanism. Did these discussions become more and more emphasized on AI safety and derisking over time?
I’m not a regular reader of LW, any explanation would be greatly appreciated.
