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.

Another review of Yudkowsky and Soares: if anyone reads it, everyone laughs (sadly, Substack). This one gestures to the whole university of academic fields that a book like this touches on.
The reviewer mentions "The wickedly smart Scott Aaronson" and maybe he means Aaronson's academic publications because his general blogging is not impressive.
Wow, that’s probably one of the most in-depth critiques of the book I’ve read. Kudos to the OP
I nearly bounced off when I couldn't tell if his praise of Kissinger (spit) was ironic, but it was ultimately a very well-rounded examination.
He does seem to list Kissinger as one of several "smart people" which is odd for a US military veteran. Lots of nonagenarians with PhDs say stupid shit.
