ai visionary/harry potter fanfiction master eliezer yudkowsky, folks. the man's intellect is perpendicular to the rest of humanity. truly inspiring.

this is why i can't take anything he says seriously.

The more I see him in the real world the more very upset I become that I genuinely really liked his story. HPMOR is a banger, possibly one of my favorite pieces of amateur literature in existence.

I didn't know the author was a wanker at the time of reading, and now that I do, I want to make myself retroactively un-like his work, but I can't.

His social media presence is, uh... questionable.

I did a little bit of digging around and I can't find anything in particular that he's done that I don't like (actually he's one of few people pushing back against AI which I do like), but I've seen some Twitter takes from him in the past that made me not want to be involved with him.

Nothing heinous though so far as I know, though I can't say I've kept up with it recently.
