ai-for-less-suffering

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

nodes

🏕️ Camp (15) --- Coherent cluster of held claims.
✅ Descriptive claim (279) --- What is.
💭 Normative claim (20) --- What should be.
📰 Source (103) --- A citable primary document.
📁 Evidence (323) --- A source's stance on a claim --- support, contradict, or qualify.
⚖️ Intervention (7) --- A proposed action.

scoring layers

🔥 Friction layer (5) --- What slows deployment.
💀 Harm layer (6) --- A welfare harm to weigh.
💔 Suffering layer (5) --- A category of first-person suffering the intervention relieves.

coalition relations

🌉 Bridge (13) --- A normative translation from one camp into another.
🤝 Convergence (2) --- Camps arriving at the same intervention for different reasons.
🕳️ Blindspot (5) --- A camp the operator is under-weighting.

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.
