I feel honored to have been one of the few people to have challenged
Yudkowsky's ignorance. It gave me - and anyone else who was
knowledgeable enough to have understood what happened - a chance to see
him for what he was.
Hey, I enjoy speaking the truth about the guy. I do it partly because
it is fun to get sycophants like yourself riled up. And, as long as
that outrageous, defamatory outburst of his is still online, and not
withdrawn, I'm afraid, Aleksei, that he is fair game. ;-)
"Singularity Utopia" is not, of course, a threat. You are correct about
that: my mistake.
He only regards someone as a threat when he realizes that they are
smarter than he is, and when they have the moxy to talk about his state
of undress ....
