I have nothing witty or insightful to say, but figured this probably deserved a post. I flipped a coin between sneerclub and techtakes.

They aren't interested in anything besides "superintelligence" which strikes me as an optimistic business strategy. If you are "cracked" you can join them:

We are assembling a lean, cracked team of the world’s best engineers and researchers dedicated to focusing on SSI and nothing else.

is… is yud one of the disaster monkeys? or are we supposed to forget he spent a bunch of years running and renaming an institute that tried and failed to do this exact same alignment grift?

yud is the uniquely capable person in this area. anyone who even sets foot in it should make groveling to him a high priority. these people are disaster monkeys because they aren't doing that

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