Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, but I was under the impression that you were on the far end of the LW bell curves for cryonics-optimism and AI-pessimism.
I suspect he’s getting downvoted because he didn’t answer the question, not even with “I don’t think it has a low probability of success” or some other simple response.
Yeah, did you ever write up a full summary of why you think signing up for cryonics is a good idea? Including, hopefully, not just the information theory stuff,, but also how likely you think it is that you will remain funded and get unfrozen even if the technical problems are all solved, etc. Can’t find such an article under the cryonics tag, and I’d love to read such a thing from you.
Okay, seriously, how the hell did you get this impression?

No numbers, but I think this is the most comprehensive argument Eliezer’s made on the subject (it’s linked from the LW wiki page on cryonics): http://lesswrong.com/lw/wq/you_only_live_twice/
