I meant to say I’d be relatively good at it, I think it would be hard to find 20 people who are better than me at this sort of thing. The original ITT was about simulating “a libertarian” rather than “a particular libertarian”, so emulating Yudkowsky specifically is a difficulty increase that would have to be compensated for. I think replicating writing style isn’t the main issue, replicating the substance of arguments is, which is unfortunately harder to test. This post wasn’t meant to do this, as I said.
I’m also not sure in particular what about the Yudkowskian AI risk models you think I don’t understand. I disagree in places but that’s not evidence of not understanding them.
