A new online community is being proposed on Reddit to foster a more comprehensive discussion around AI, cognition, and their wide-ranging effects on society. Reddit user PianistWinter8293 initiated the effort, citing a need for a platform that transcends the specialized silos of engineering, psychology, and political science currently dominating the AI conversation. The envisioned community will emphasize a systematic, objective, and curious approach to exploring topics like the nature of the mind, consciousness, the progress of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), and the societal ramifications of these advancements.
