Yep it'll all be in the comments, so if you aren't around you can read it later (and I'm sure a bunch of the conversations will continue, just potentially without the guests)
this was a good flag btw - I've changed the first sentence to be clearer!

I think I'll stick with this current statement - partly because it's now been announced for a while so people may be relying on its specific implications for their essays, but also because this new formulation (to me) doesn't seem to avoid the problem you raise, that it isn't clear what your vote would be if you think the same type of work is recommended for both. Perhaps the solution to that issue is in footnote 3 on the current banner - if you think that the value from working on AI takeover is mostly from avoiding extinction, then you should vote agree. If you think it is from increasing the value of the future by another means (such as more democratic control of the future by humans), then you should vote disagree. 

Minor thing but I think your colour scheme is pretty hard to read- I like the idea of having the three accent colours, but maybe the background should be more neutral and you should have one accent that is darker. For example, it really doesn't work in this box: 

A bit of a change for next week's debate week... When you vote on the banner and leave a comment, that comment will appear in a discussion thread. When it does, it'll display your vote, so that readers can put your comment in context, like so:
 

Let me know if you have any questions - and see you for debate week next week!

That's a really interesting solution - I'm a bit swamped today but I'll seriously consider this tomorrow - it might be a nice way to clarify things without changing the meaning of the statement for people who have already written posts. Cheers!

Maybe dumb-question: Is there some way to do this through GWWC? If it used their donation platform/ was incubated legally by them maybe you could avoid this? 

Hey Meir, welcome to the forum! Let me know if you have any questions about EA or the Forum.

Welcome Mira! Sounds like a really solid career plan :) Let me know if you have any questions about the Forum, or EA in general.

Ah yes I agree that the 1 dimensional slider doesn't represent anyone's entire opinion. But I also think it shouldn't - this is why debate week is also a week for writing posts, and we integrate comments with the banner. There are many considerations that could affect your vote, and that's great - that's (hopefully) why the week will be generative. 

I'm not sure whether to count AI takeover as extinction or just as a worse future - maybe I should define extinction as actually just literal extinction, and leave scenarios with very small populations out of the definition. Any thoughts on the best way to define it here? I agree it needs some refining.
