Three sequences on AI Safety were recently released. I'd suggest that in general it is probably better when new material isn't released that fast. Those sequences are quite technical so each post requires a reasonable amount of time to be invested. This means:
- There is more psychological pressure to read each post quickly rather than taking the time to understand and internalise the ideas
- There are less comments because keeping up with the posts reduces the time people have to write comments and if you're behind, by the time you catch up there's less value writing a comment as less people will see it
This isn't a particularly important post, just feedback for the future.
I think it generally makes sense to have highly upvoted recent sequences spotlighted on the top of the page, for the same reason it makes sense to have them spotlighted in 'Curated'.
They can then be made rarer (or phased out entirely) once they're less recent, if there's less value to spotlighting them in the long run. I've generally had a hard time finding posts from each other, because posts in Embedded Agency and Fixed Points on LW often haven't been included in any sequence.
