Habryka responds to @jdpressman's claim that MIRI tried to take over the world, pointing out that the linked discussion shows the opposite: Luke explicitly says he doesn't want to build friendly AI himself, and Eliezer wrote essays in 2004 about the dangers of trying to take over the world. Habryka argues this contradicts the narrative that MIRI allowed its fanbase to perceive it as intending to take over the world.
