High context
In rationalist and AI-safety community discussions, being fluent in the background arguments, jargon and conversational norms that a group shares, such as debates about alignment, takeover, game theory and AI timelines. It is familiarity with a community's intellectual background, not proof that its claims are correct or a description of a model's context window.
