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.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

One part in particular pissed me off for being blatantly the opposite of reality
Eliezer literally has multiple sequence about his foolish youth where he nearly destroyed the world trying to jump straight to inventing AI instead of figuring out "AI Friendliness" first!
Nah, you learned nothing from what you did wrong and your sequence posts were the very sort of self aggrandizing bullshit you're mocking here.
Eliezer's "AGI concerns to work on" was making a plan for him, personally, to lead a small team, which would solve meta-ethics and figure out how to implement these meta-ethics in a perfectly reliable way in an AI that didn't exist yet (that a theoretical approach didn't exist for yet, that an inkling of how to make traction on a theoretical approach for didn't exist yet). The very plan Eliezer came up with was self aggrandizing bullshit that made everything about Eliezer.
