Rationalists have spent many years now fine-tuning better ways of thinking. Now AI is spiraling out of control before our eyes, and it’s time to translate those ideas into effective action. The world of public affairs is dirty, Machiavellian, and brutal. How can we use what we’ve learned to effect change and achieve our goals? I will bring insights from rationality, history, politics, and the storied tradition of conflict theory to the table and propose concrete strategies to achieve our goal of preventing horrible outcomes from AI.
Inaugural post coming sometime soon.
