Dean Ball laments that Nick Land is alive for the takeoff and an inveterate poster, yet shows zero interest in AI discourse, focusing instead on edgelord race-science content. Abhi Adesai responds that all this seems moot if whole brain emulation (WBE) is solved, and notes how few of the AI-safety OGs are publicly active these days — with Yudkowsky and Land seemingly the only regulars — wishing for more public work from Omohundro and Bostrom.
