Skimmed it the first run-through but initial impression is not really AI-related:

This is far more civilised and honest discourse than 95% of Western academics or eq. persons can manage, no matter if the setting is formal or not.

That to me is far scarier than machine intelligence.

This is the first thing you've ever written (or that we've ever discussed) around AI that truly worries me, as there's no fucking way this doesn't apply in the same fashion to both human group dynamics modified by covert AI agents, and on potentially uncommitted AI agents who may, as your last AI essay highlighted (and anyone who's interacted with them had probably already gathered), already have troubling biases. I hope there's space up there on that damn tree...because our enemies are undoubtedly already exploiting this to its fullest.
