I don't begrudge SIAI at all for using Less Wrong as a platform for increasing its donor base, but I can definitely see myself getting annoyed sooner or later, if SIAI donors keep posting low-quality comments or posts, and then expecting special treatment for being a donor. You can ask Eliezer to not get annoyed, but is it fair to expect all the other LW regulars to do the same as well?
I'm not sure what the solution is to this problem, but I'm hoping that somebody is thinking about it.
Me too. The reason I upvoted this post was because I hoped it would stimulate higher quality discussion (whether complimentary, critical, or both) of SIAI in the future. I've been hoping to see such a discussion on LW for a while to help me think through some things.
In other words, you see XiXiDu's post as the defector in the Asch experiment who chooses C when the group chooses B but the right answer is A?
