“When someone designs a superintelligent AI (it won’t be Eliezer), without paying any attention to Friendliness (the first person who does it won’t), and the world doesn’t end (it won’t), it will be interesting to hear Eliezer’s excuses.”
So if Eliezer doesn’t want to pay up he has to make his excuses really boring or decline to make them altogether.
Lots of random posts. Also, I just realised that that page only covers Eliezer’s stuff since the OB to LW move, so I’m not even getting most of his stuff.
The page only goes down to 24 February 2009, which was around the time of he move. In his posts there’s a gap of a week before he mentions LW by name, thus it seems likely that the cut-off was at the move. In any case, that page doesn’t have all the comments.
What have you found so far besides the stuff recorded in the bet registry like my recent bet with him on MoR winning a Hugo?
From the registry:

Making them boring enough that people who are already hypervigilant on this issue won’t be interested in them would be quite a challenge, actually.
“We got real lucky.”

I don’t think that’s true. All OB comments were imported, and EY was one of the lucky ones who got them imported under their actual LW username.
He is talking about the script made my Wei_Dai. It does only fetch the LW content.
Doesn’t that script just retrieve all the comments on the userpage and put them on one big page?
Exactly. But for some reason it breaks down at 2009.

You’re not letting the page fully load. It loads them chronologically backwards.
That page is formed by a script of Wei_Dai that for some reason breaks down in 2009, very close to when the site move was.
It’s probably hitting an out of memory error, due to how many posts and comments Eliezer has.
