The Donald Trump of early 2000's era of AI/futurology blogging, biggest and loudest opinion in the noble field of standing at the sidelines speaking as a confident expert about something that doesn't exist to start with, and that he is completely uninvolved in developing as a punchline.

Loud voice, huge ego, no substance. Seems to be enough to get a good following.

That's not right. He is a researcher.

You know Bostrom right? He wrote the book on the subject and credits Yud for many things. I mean what more do you want? Influential essays? Theories? They are all out there.

He's just no much of a coder from what I can see. Having released little code.
