It's not "general AI stuff", it's about Friendly AI, as suggested by the post's title.

Joshua, congrats on publishing this.

In this context I put Friendly AI in the category of "general AI stuff".

The important part here is that it's about FAI, not about the art of human rationality.

As long as we're allowing some discussion on off-topic subjects that are not "the art of human rationality", can we please get rid of the useful off-topic subjects last?

I'd rather diminish the discussion of off-topic subjects, and get rid of the noisiest topics first.

AI and FAI are notable because people like to talk about them a lot for something off-topic.

I'd be more likely to agree if there were somewhere else to productively discuss Singularity/FAI issues.

I agree that there should be somewhere else to discuss those things.

Does that still exist?

The site's there, but I don't know how active the community still is.

Dead.

Aha - a relevant discussion was had on the list about a year ago, hereabouts.

We really ought to have a subreddit if people really want to talk about sl4/fai topics here. A different site on the same engine would be even better.
