Every quote is verbatim and links to its source. Blockquotes were stripped before excerpting, so no one is shown saying words they were quoting from someone else. Quotes were reviewed against their surrounding context to show lines where the author appears to be stating their own view. The selection is representative, not exhaustive.
Built from public LessWrong / EA Forum / Alignment Forum archives.
