For the life of me, I can’t find it—but there is a comment from EY about HJPEV’s actions (appearing suboptimal in some commentor’s view because he was busy winning a school wargames competition instead of Transfiguring more carbon nanotubes and building supercomputers and space elevators) to the sarcastic effect of “It’s almost as if he’s not me!”.
This is what prompted me to compare Eliezer’s HJPEV to another author’s “supposed-avatar-but-actually-the-author-is-smarter-than-that” character.
