He has a lot of excerpts and some full stories on his website, so one way to start might be browsing there.

I think my favorite novels of his that I've read were Zendegi and Incandescence.

Nit: It's "Death and the Gorgon".

It's linked here, so I'll hazard a guess that the copy is intended to be public.

The description of "The questions ChatGPT shouldn't answer" doesn't seem to go with the text. Did you mean to link something else?

Reached by the Chronicle, Yudkowsky said he would not read the letter for the same reason he refused to read the manuscript of the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski.

Not even the MST3k version?

(Warning: contains some ... Tarantino-like 1995 edginess at odds with its overall tone)

If you want to read Yudkowsky's explanation for why he doesn't spend more effort on academia, it's here.

Obviously, it's easier to tear down firewalls with the extra fingers.

That's just common sense.

Yeah, it's been ages since I've heard anyone be that indirect about it... and if one is being indirect, the point is to minimize the reaction, not deliberately provoke one.

"Welcome to our Burning Man camp, Bugs Crawling Under Your Skin"

[-] blakestacey@awful.systems 4 points 2 years ago

I think that's it — it's the one Timnit Gebru linked to back in February which prompted the old!SneerClub discussion I mentioned, and Molly White's newsletter links to the same place.

Thanks for taking on that task (I linked to your post to provide further details).
