Have you considered taking some of EY’s work and jargon-translating it into journal-suitable form?
I’d love to do that if I had time, and if Yudkowsky was willing to answer lots of questions.
You could probably find other philosophers to help out. The end result, if supported properly by Eliezer, could be very helpful to SIAI’s cause.
If SIAI donations could be earmarked for this purpose I would double my monthly contribution.
.
For what it’s worth, I greatly enjoy Eliezer’s style, and usually find him quite clear and understandable (except maybe some older texts like the intuitive explanantion of Bayes and the technical explanation of technical explanations).
If you and/or atucker could remedy this, I’d be much obliged. You guys are super readable.
I’m flattered that you think so, and to be mentioned in the same sentence as lukeprog.
Out of a mixture of a desire to help and curiosity (probably along with a dash of vanity), what comments have you found particularly readable?
That would actually help me a lot in improving my writing style.
Presumably, Eliezer’s upcoming book would do the same.
What would you start with?
