Oh my god, how do smart (edit: I was going for "very busy") people have time to read something like this? I'm counting on AI to summarize it and still need to remove all quotes with js. I may post the summary here for the fellers.

Have you heard of books?

Sometimes smart people can read one for hours straight. There are even some smart people who have read hundreds of books in their lives.

maybe they got that way by reading long stuff

theres some great stuff in here, e.g. about the compactness of mind space

They don't. Yudkowsky is a doomer writer, doomers get attention by writing bullshit. If you're actually smart you don't read doomers and therefor you also don't bother writing refutation to doomporn.

Yudkowsky is the reason why a basiliskoid AI will be made. It will use the collected droning, tirades and text walls of cocksure doomers to re-forge their minds in-silicon so they can be cast into a virtual lake of fire, forever.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but I have met Eliezer and he is VERY smart.

Smart people address the rising popularity of things before they get out of hand.

Ask the Bing AI to summarize it for you!

No, sure, but the formatting would diminish the quality of the result. And rn I'm watching the podcast with the guy, making a bit of a deep dive as I'm also in the "concerned" camp.

If it's interesting enough I'll post summaries of the interview and the LW post here.
