Eliezer Yudkowsky comments on Breaking the vicious cycle

[Eliezer Yudkowsky]

I don’t have time to evaluate what you did, so I’ll take this as a possible earnest of a good-faith attempt at something, and not speak ill of you until I get some other piece of positive evidence that something has gone wrong. A header statement only on relevant posts seems fine by me, if you have the time to add it to items individually.

I very strongly advise you, on a personal level, not to talk about these things online at all. No, not even posting links without discussion, especially if your old audience is commenting on them. The probability I estimate of your brain helplessly dragging you back in is very high.

This will be my last comment and I am going to log out after it. If you or MIRI change your mind, or discover any evidence “that something has gone wrong”, please let me know by email or via a private message on e.g. Facebook or some other social network that’s available at that point in time.

Thanks.

I noticed that there is still a post mentioning MIRI. It is not at all judgemental or negative but rather highlights a video that I captured of a media appearance of MIRI on German/​French TV. I understand this sort of posts not to be relevant posts for either deletion or any sort of header.

Then there is also an interview with Dr. Laurent Orseau about something you wrote. I added the following header to this post:
