Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

If Yud and Soares are on a book tour I want them to go on hot ones
Forgive my stupidity, but I don't know what this means. Or it's referencing something I don't know.
All is forgiven. Hot Ones is an internet interview show. Its core premise is that the host and interviewee conduct their interview while eating increasingly spicier chicken wings. As with any interview platform, it's a common stop for public figures to hit up, especially on PR tours.
The show has a reputation for researching its guests well and asking insightful/deep questions. There's also an element to it where, for some guests, as they experience spicier wings, they are unable to keep up whatever facade or persona they usually keep up in interviews.
I wasn't making any profound commentary; I want to see Yud in pain while trying to explain alignment.
Thanks.
TBF I can't say I'm sold on the notion of watching Yudkowsky eat spicy wings while also arguing with someone.
It's only fair that his audience shouldn't be the only ones suffering when that happens.
it would be incredible if yud’s one of the types to lose his focus around sauce 3, would do a real kicker to the shine of his grift
YouTube interview show where the interviewee is fed hot-sauce coated chicken wings of escalating spiciness
As an aside, my personal tolerance is such that if I ever go on there, I'm going to end up bankrupting the fuckers
someday(tm) I’ll get around to looking into getting a season pack from the states to here (which possibly might be distinctly non-trivial, and if it is I’ll have bother trying to figure out the logistics of it, which ugh)
An example from a local Nashville institution:

I'd gladly help you out with it!
will keep the offer in mind when I have the spoons and round tuits for it :)
Well, I have had some of their hot sauces before and can confirm that they are not bad to pretty good, and are at a good gift sort of price point (if you live in the US).
