Eliezer brain-dumped his thoughts on this open problem to Facebook, and replied to questions there for several hours. Then Robby spent time figuring out how to structure a series of posts that would more clearly explain the open problem, and wrote drafts of those posts. Several people, including Eliezer, commented heavily on various drafts until they reached a publishable form. Louie coordinates the project.
After discussion of the posts on Less Wrong, we may in some cases get someone to write up journal article expositions of some of the ideas in the posts.
The aim is to write up open problems in Friendly AI using as little Eliezer-time as possible. It seems to be working so far.
Awesome project.
I really liked the facebook discussion, and this post explains clearly and concretely a part that some people found confusing. Very well written. Congratulation, Robb.

I’m sad the original FB posts were deleted. Now I can never show my kids the occasion where Eliezer endorsed a comment of mine =(
