so I try to argue in good faith and stay somewhat open to the possibility I might be wrong but also somewhat stubborn to look for all the arguments against and not just agree for social harmony 🫶 (this is mostly note to self- remind me if necessary please!)
imo e/acc tweeting is net positive for the Safety perspective too: - debating against an opponent sharpens safety arguments, adversarial search for truth - 2 sided conflict draws attention to the issue n gives media a conflict to report on, all publicity is good publicity
- steering *towards* a desired outcome not just trying to avoid the scary outcome can help ppl envision the future - alt perspectives uncover useful ideas even if they're overall wrong- like my poll asking *why* we survive AI if in fact we do
