Discussion notes

Start with something that matters to you. There is room for concern, hope, disagreement, or an unanswered question.

These are your notes, not a public contribution. They are not submitted to this site or shared with a group. Saving on a shared device makes them available to others using this browser.

Starting point: Sycophancy at scale

Describe the situation, proposal, or experience in your own words.

Record concerns, possibilities, and different views. You do not need to find a positive side or reach agreement.

Questions to help the conversation
  • Who could benefit, and who might be harmed or left out?
  • What is known, and what are we assuming?
  • Where do people disagree? Whose perspective is missing?
  • What would change our minds?

Record a next step Optional

A next step can be another conversation or a decision to wait. Record agreement only when people have actually agreed.

For a trial, note what to check and what would make you stop.
