Something I really like about AI safety and EA/rationalist circles is the ease and positivity in people’s approach to being criticised.[1] For all the blowups and stories of representative people in the communities not living up to the stated values, my experience so far has been that the desire to be truth-seeking and to stress-test your cherished beliefs is a real, deeply respected and communally cultured value. This in particular explains my ability to keep getting jobs and coming to conferences in this community, despite being very eager to criticise and call bullshit on people’s theoretical agendas.
