Is there some background here I'm not getting? Because this reads like you've talked someone into committing suicide over IRC...
He's talking about an AI box. Eliezer has convinced people to let out a potentially unfriendly [1] and dangerously intelligent [2] entity before, although he's not told anyone how he did it.
[1] Think "paperclip maximizer".
[2] Think "near-omnipotent".
Thank you. I knew that, but didn't make the association.
