Loosemore has been an occasional commenter since the SL4 days; his arguments have heavily criticized pretty much anytime he pops his head up. As far as I know, XiXiDu is the only one who agrees with him or takes him seriously.

He actually cites someone else who agrees with him in his paper, so this can’t be true. And from the positive feedback he gets on Facebook there seem to be more. I personally chatted with people much smarter than me (experts who can show off widely recognized real-world achievements) who basically agree with him.

What people criticize here is a distortion of small parts of his arguments. RobBB managed to write a whole post expounding his ignorance of what Loosemore is arguing.

I said as far as I know. I had not read the paper because I don’t have a very high opinion of Loosemore’s ideas in the first place, and nothing you’ve said in your G+ post has made me more inclined to read the paper, if all it’s doing is expounding the old fallacious argument ‘it’ll be smart enough to rewrite itself as we’d like it to’.
