Katja Grace presses Yudkowsky on what exactly was falsified about slow takeoff
KatjaGrace · x · 2026-10-07
A debate fragment between Katja Grace and @allTheYud (Eliezer Yudkowsky) over the "slow takeoff" framing. Yudkowsky argues that if proponents meant to include a certain possibility under "slow takeoff," they were obligated to state it plainly, concretely, loudly and repeatedly, and claims the version EAs believed they were told has now been falsified. Grace keeps pressing for specifics on what "this possibility" actually refers to.
