Terms of service
What this site is, what an account commits you to, and the conduct expected in the discussion forums.
Who operates this site
Real Life After AGI is published by Technology Geeks Inc., a company based in Georgia, USA. For legal notices or questions about these terms, use the contact page or write to dringdahl@technologygeeks.com.
Nature of the content
Real Life After AGI is an independent reference and discussion site about AGI risk and preparedness. It is not professional financial, legal, medical, or security advice.
Pages marked working draft carry real analysis that is not yet backed by citations on the page. Every page shows its own status and revision date, and the sourcing standard explains what each status means. Weigh a draft page accordingly.
Accounts
You must provide a valid email address, and you are responsible for the security of your password and your account. You may not impersonate another person or organization, or share your account with others. What is stored against an account, and how credentials are handled, is set out in the privacy policy.
Forum conduct
The forums are attached to a reference work, so they are held to the same standard as the pages. These four rules are the canonical version — the signup page and the forums link here rather than keeping their own copy.
- Argue with the claim, not the person. Threads that turn into harassment are removed, and accounts that keep doing it are suspended.
- Bring a source where one exists. “Someone told me” is a legitimate contribution as long as it is labeled as that, rather than presented as established.
- No doom performance, and no dismissal by default. Both cost every other reader the same amount of time, and neither settles anything.
- Stay on topic for the chapter. Illegal content, spam, and deliberate misinformation are removed when we find them.
You keep ownership of what you post, and grant us a license to display it on the site for as long as your account or that post exists.
No warranty
The site and its content are provided as they are, without warranty of any kind, including accuracy or fitness for a particular purpose. Treat the information here as one input among others when making a real decision — that is what the source index is for.
Governing law and international use
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising from your use of the site will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Georgia, USA, and you consent to that venue and jurisdiction.
This site is read from many countries, and nothing here overrides a consumer-protection or data-protection right that the law of your own country does not allow you to waive. If a provision of these terms conflicts with a mandatory right of that kind, the mandatory right controls for that provision only — the rest of these terms stay in effect.
Changes
We may update these terms as the site develops. Continued use after a change means you accept the revised terms; the revision date above marks the last change.
