Eliezer Yudkowsky being tired isn’t an unrelated accident though. Bayesian decision theory in general intrinsically causes fatigue by relying on people to use their own actions to move outcomes instead of getting leverage from destiny/higher powers, which matches what you say about him having sacrificed his present energy for this.
Similarly, “being Twitterized” is just about stewing in garbage and cursed information, such that one is forced to filter extremely aggressively, but blocking high-quality information sources accelerates the Twitterization by changing the ratio of blessed to garbage/cursed information.
On the contrary, I think raising salience of such discussions helps clear up the “informational food chain”, allowing us to map out where there are underused opportunities and toxic accumulation.
It seems likely to me that Eliezer blocked you because he has concluded that you are a low-quality information source, no longer worth the effort of engaging with.
I agree that this is likely Eliezer’s mental state. I think this belief is false, but for someone who thinks it’s true, there’s of course no problem here.
Working on writing stuff but it’s not developed enough yet. To begin with you can read my Linear Diffusion of Sparse Lognormals sequence, but it’s not really oriented towards practical applications.

Please say more about this. Where can I get some?
