I'm really surprised this article has such a high rating - it strikes me as one of Eliezer's worst.
Why should anyone believe anything written here?
Why do you believe it?
I didn't vote the article up-- I didn't think it was that extraordinary.
On the other hand, it's not wildly different from some of my experience, and I can believe that there are people for whom it's very accurate.
Eliezer gets a good bit done, and he might well find threshold effects be an obstacle to work, but find actually doing work to be very engaging.
Do you find the article implausible, and if so, why?
