Lightcone's ohabryka: neutral infrastructure means no special privileges for Scott
ohabryka · x · 2026-11-01
ohabryka, who runs Lightcone/Lighthaven, doubled down on her stance: she believes Scott Alexander is acting unethically and causing harm via preference falsification, but as a "neutral infrastructure provider" she will continue supporting him at the same level as the rest of the ecosystem — without special privileges. The post responds to criticism that this is "seriously bad for social epistemology," and highlights the tension between personal convictions and neutral platform operations in the AI safety community.
