Eliezer Yudkowsky didn't attend High School or College. I'm not confident he understands basic Calculus or Linear Algebra, let alone modern Machine Learning. So yes, I will dismiss his views without seriously engaging with them, for the same reason that any Physics professor will dismiss emails from cranks talking about their "theories."

This is incredibly dishonest and I think you know it. Even a little bit of googling would show that he has done research in decision theory and has an h-index of ~15. What's yours, btw?

And if you really want to go down the route of credentialism, there are quite a few established researchers who broadly agree with what Yudkowsky is saying and are working on the same things.

Looks like reddit filtered out your response. Anyway, you seem plenty unhinged and I think I'll stop interacting with you.

In parting, I googled you as well. Bit odd for a "researcher" (one that compares himself to physics professors, no less) to have a citation count of zero. Have a good one...
