Scott Alexander at least chomped on his hat in response to this 2017 incident involving Maciej Ceglowski: > 12. (4/9/17) G.K Chesterton On AI Risk was an April Fools’ joke and not meant seriously. But it did criticize Maciej Ceglowski’s piece where he accused singularitarians of not caring enough about the poor. The fake Chesterton of the piece said that if Ceglowski himself gave to charity at the same level as the people he was criticizing, he would “eat his hat”. Ceglowski pointed out that he does indeed give a lot of money to charity, including a $15,000 donation last year. Under the circumstances, I felt honor-bound to eat my hat and post a video of it on Twitter. https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/04/01/g-k-chesterton-on-ai-risk/ https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/04/01/g-k-chesterton-on-ai-r... https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/848396684862275584 https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/848396684862275584
