    You only get credit for thinking about and warning about something if you have thought good ideas or were right about that thing. Not saying the person he’s criticizing is right, either.

    This schism is heating up. Pretty funny, Yudkowsky has created a monster he couldn’t control, just like he imagined… only the monster is AI fandom.

    It’s cute how Yud is trying to construct a dichotomy between EA AI X-riskers and e/acc AI chuds like Andreessen, as if one side is correct and the other isn’t. Call me a centrist if you like: both sides bad.

      What both sides have is an unrestrained contempt for the Fourth Estate:

      Every journalistic outlet whose journalists credulously reprinted this patent bullshit should investigate those journalists to see who their connections are with whatever PR firms Andreessen Horowitz has hired; and then, regardless of the results of that investigation, should fire every one of those journalists for being one of either corrupt or hopelessly gullible.
