I think it might be better to have both options be vote up. Seems the first voter was confused. If I vote now it will look as if nobody has voted.

There's also the problem of the vote down option being hidden.

I think that's confusing enough that I'd take the voting patterns as very weak evidence about the preferences of LWers, and basically set it aside altogether. Sorry!

Yes, the voting is non-standard. Suggest delete and start over.

I've posted new comments: vote for AI section, vote against AI section, karma balance.

I will of course not be offended if Alex chooses to delete the whole article and start over, and if s/he would prefer me to delete my comments then I'll do so.

Should have been under a single parent comment, not as separate top-level comments.

To keep them together? Damn, you're right. Sorry.

Crap... I was that confused first voter.

Guh... too late now, I think.
