r/singularity: rules, promo tolerance & best time to post
cautious (6/10) · tone: Enthusiastic and technical, oscillating between breathless speculation about AI timelines and deep dives into model internals; assumes readers are already invested in AI acceleration narratives.
Can you promote in r/singularity?
Cautious: promotion is tolerated only in context — answer the question first, disclose your affiliation, and never lead with a link.
r/singularity is a fast-paced, technical community obsessed with AGI timelines, model capabilities, and the machinery of AI scaling. Members reward concrete benchmarks and insider research findings, but skepticism runs deep on both timelines and safety narratives. Light self-promotion is tolerated if tied to genuine technical contributions (open-source work, novel experiments with frontier models); pure marketing gets ignored or flagged.
- DO include concrete metrics, benchmarks, or reproducible results
- DO ground speculation in recent model releases or capabilities
- DO engage with interpretability, scaling, or alignment angles
- DO cite Import AI, Lesswrong, or similar high-signal sources
- DON'T post vague doomerism without technical substance
- DON'T promote products/services as a main pitch (light self-promo with genuine sharing OK)
- DON'T rehash old timelines without new evidence
- DON'T assume others accept 'alignment solved' or 'AI safety doesn't matter' without pushback

What this community complains about
Recurring pain points in recent threads — each one is a conversation your product might belong in:
- Uncertainty about AGI/RSI timelines and whether key capabilities are still bottlenecked
- Interpretability gaps—what's happening inside model weights?
- Regulatory fragmentation (national AI laws perceived as inefficient)
- Fear that AI progress will outpace safety/alignment work
- Frustration with mainstream AI discourse being too cautious or non-technical
