Yeah, the reaction was weird, kind of like two cats hissing at each other ;) But I wonder why Eliezer wanted to consult Bret of all people. Was he hoping for some shared unorthodoxy? Is it a comment on a specific Bret's podcast? At any rate the quote of the week is: Stunning that you think it's a matter of "facts". @Chirss_and_Matt: you should incorporate it before Bret patents the word "stunning" ;)

That's great. I respect that Yudkowsky was up for the argument. Bret just claims he doesn't get it and runs away. Wouldn't be surprised if Bret blocked him.

Speaking of the future Yudkowsky episode, have you seen this thread: https://twitter.com/ESYudkowsky/status/1658933551080022019 ? There really is some strange attraction at hand when it comes to that crowd...

I’ll fix it in the audio.

Did Sam Harris only buy the microphone for Chris? For the love of gods equalize the humm with the screech...
Christopher Kavanagh
I didn’t notice but he does find that a challenge.

Matt, has no interest in talking directly into that microphone , Does he?
