Welcome! Shortform (see the user menu) is a good way to get started, otherwise the AI open thread.

But have you considered "that was nice, here, have a paperclip!"

Curated. I like this post taking LessWrong back to its roots of trying to get us humans to reason better and believe truth things. I think we need that now as much as we did in 2009, and I fear that my own beliefs have become ossified through identity and social commitment, etc. LessWrong now talks a lot of about AI, and AI is increasingly a political topic (this post is a little political in a way I don't want to put front and center but I'll curate anyway), which means recalling the ways our minds get stuck and exploring ways to ask ourselves questions in ways where the answer could come back different.
