Relatedly on “obviously dropping the ball”: has Eliezer tried harder prescription stimulants? With his P(doom) & timelines, there’s relatively little downside to this done in reasonable quantities I think. They can be prescribed. Seems extremely likely to help with fatigue
From what I’ve read, the main warning would be to get harder blocks on whatever sidetracks eliezer (e.g. use friends to limit access, have a child lock given to a trusted person, etc)

Seems like this hasn’t been tried much beyond a basic level, and I’m really curious why not given high Eliezer/Nate P(doom)s. There are several famously productive researchers who did this
