datawitch - LessWrong

You had me until Electronic Arts lmao.

I like being ace but I would never advise anyone to go on antiandrogens in the hope of becoming ace. They have numerous side effects and... asexuality isn't the same as libido, antiandrogens might cut your libido down but they won't fully fix the underlying attraction.

Why am I getting downvoted on Lesswrong?

I don't really have an opinion on the first two questions.

I usually don't read AI posts (especially technical or alignment ones, I'm not an ML engineer and usually struggle to follow them), I read like... stories, everything zvi writes, posts my friends make, things that catch my interest...

Those five are sampled from the last two weeks. I also read literally everything zvi posts. I always sort globally by new and then just click on whatever looks interesting

Your post had typos and I didn't really like the style but it's hard to point to any one thing. And that's not a crux; if I thought it was valuable I wouldn't really care. My top suggestion is literally just to have put the Google doc in the post.

From glancing at your profile it seems like you're not actually being downvoted that much, except for the first post which is at -13. I didn't downvote it but I found the post not especially well written, and rather light on details. It felt like a politician's speech and I was hoping for more concrete proposals? (tbf I didn't read the linked doc).
