I shudder to imagine the future we might have had if 10 full-Eliezers and 50 semi-Eliezers had been working on that problem full time for the last fifteen years.
That sounds obviously amazing. Are you under the impression that recruitment succeeded so enormously that there are 10 people that can produce intellectual content as relevant and compelling as the original sequences, but that they’ve been working at MIRI (or something) instead? Who are you thinking of?
I don’t think we got even a single Eliezer-substitute, even though that was one of the key goals of the writing the sequences.
