Written very quickly for the Inkhaven Residency.As I dug through my drafts for today’s InkHaven’s post, I found an old draft of a blog post written in late 2022, arguing that LessWrong/Alignment Forum/etc should have a stronger norm for including related work sections.[1] When I first started posting actively on LessWrong and meddling in papers back in 2022, one of the things I pushed for was substantial related work sections. Nowadays, I'm a bit more mixed on the value of related work sections
