That’s not rationality content. AI content is sort of grandfathered in because of the SI sponsorship and Eliezer’s posting on it, but most of the LW audience is attracted by the rationality content, I think.

I thought AI content is considered on-topic here more because there is a strong argument, based on our current best understand of rationality, that we should make a significant effort to push the Singularity and hence the entire future of the accessible universe in a positive direction. I guess it’s understandable that you might not want to overplay this and end up alienating people who are more interested in other rationality topics, but we seem still far from that point, judging from the relative lack of complaints and recent voting on AI and Singularity-related posts.

I don’t know how much paper content CFAR is planning to produce, but it would escape this objection.
