I do think anyone who wants us to take Elizer Yudkowsky seriously as an authority on AI armageddon should be forced to testify on video that they have read the entirety of his 660,000 word rationalist Harry Potter fan fiction – written aged 30–34 – and still thinks the world needs his take.

For additional background, see Sandifer's Neoreaction a Basilisk, on Yudkowsky, Land, and Yarvin.

Things get even weirder.

I already knew about Yarvin, the basilisk and their obsession with a certain Harlan Ellison story but had no idea about the sex stuff until yesterday. Don't know how I missed that but I lament my loss of innocence!

It's…quite something.
