Worth pointing out: He's not a journalist

- giardini 18y agoHe is definitely a journalist, especially in the original sense, publishing his thoughts with considerable regularity on his blog. And he's quite good at it. You need merely have flipped to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Eliezer_Yudkowsky http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Eliezer_Yudkowsky to encounter discussion of Yudkowsky's qualifications and the Wikipedia post in general. If he says he's an AI researcher then I accept that. But he's also a journalist, a good one, and that's the face that I see presented most.
- sfk 18y agoWell, he seems to be most notable for explaining AI concepts in understandable language. Following the links, I found a glossy website [http://www.singinst.org/ http://www.singinst.org/], but not too many scientific results. IMHO AI is not going to happen by blogging or talking about it.
