I think this is an excellent and thorough critique of Bostrom's Superintelligence, which I've found to be a frustrating and sometimes infuriating read. My impression of it is that the abstruseness of the language conceals very few basic ideas, often repeated and poorly organized; vague statements and a great amount of unexplored or underexplored possibilities. I am actually very surprised by all the praise it has received. I'll probably pick it up again and try to parse it a second time more carefully, but the first impression was definitely that of an emperor with no clothes.
