4: I was recently mentioned in a Harper’s article on Bay Area AI culture. I agreed to be included, it’s basically fine, I’m not objecting to it, but a few small issues, mostly quibbles with emphasis rather than fact:

The piece says rationalists believe “that to reach the truth you have to abandon all existing modes of knowledge acquisition and start again from scratch”. The Harper’s fact-checker asked me if this was true and I emphatically said it wasn’t, so I’m not sure what’s going on here.

2: I think I got my tone wrong on last week’s Open Thread and made people think I was condemning the Harper’s article that mentioned me. I actually liked it and was just trying to clarify a few points. Please don’t get angry about it on my behalf. So as to not make things worse, I’ll banish further discussion of this to a comment.
