ai-for-less-suffering

Public thinking on AI deployment toward suffering reduction. A typed reasoning tool that separates descriptive convergence from normative divergence, and finds coalition bridges that do not require conceding the divergence.

Node types

πŸ•οΈ Camp --- Coherent cluster of held claims.
βœ… Descriptive claim --- What is.

πŸ“ Evidence --- A source's stance on a claim --- support, contradict, or qualify.
βš–οΈ Intervention --- A proposed action.

Worked example

What the site does, shown against a real claim currently in the graph. The same descriptive statement carries evidence that supports, contradicts, and qualifies it --- so the disagreement is visible as evidence, not as vibes. Click any source or claim to traverse.

Contested claims

DoD obligated AI-related contract spending rose substantially 2022-2025, driven by JWCC, Project Maven, and CDAO-managed pilots; precise totals are hampered by inconsistent AI tagging on contract line items.
