Ulillillia gets his own thread so I figured we should make one for that other internet nutjob. How's he coming on his project to bring about the singularity (or prevent it? I'm not sure where he stands on the goodness or badness of the singularity).

Did you know he wrote his 950,000 word Harry Potter fanfic without reading any of the books or watching the films? All his Harry Potter info was collected second-hand.

Does he still do the thing where he debates you in character as a "boxed AI" trying to convince you to release him, or did he stop when he couldn't convince anyone?

is this the guy that theorized about that absolutely insane thought experiment "something something basilisk" where the point was that simply knowing about it made it more likely to occur


except it was all based on really stupid assumptions that were meant as gospel, like if someone was torturing an exact replica of you, distant millenia in the future, you should care about it right now because uh...okay i never figured that out because lol that's not how anything works at all. but that was like the central motivating drive behind the whole thought experiment.

That's the guy.

Gonna go out on a limb and say this Yudkowsky guy sounds a little messed up in the head.

fun fact: that dude was making up his credentials and was exposed on tumblr

It's weird to pretend to be a phd researcher and blog about your made-up research just so you can better "take down" some weird internet guy, in the same way it's weird to go to ulillillia's house and post about what kind of pizza you watched him degrease with your Nikon Monarch X Binoculars.

Nice Meltdown :smug:

Pls tell us more about how Yud is the hero of the singularity and how his Harry Potter fanfic is actually superior to the real series.

The rabbit hole goes even deeper: imagine the weirdo who investigated the credentials of the weirdo who discredited Yud.

Imagine the jerk who casually disses the op like this unironically.

I figured he was dissing Jeffrey of YOSPOS because he was the one who knew it, not me.
