Every time Eliezer gets very, very still while someone else is speaking on Bloggingheads, I think:
"Ah-ha! I knew it, he's a robot!"
or
"Is that part of the art? Be absolutely motionless so that more blood can be redirected from various muscles to the brain?"
or
"Great, Eliezer was disconnected and I'm seeing a frozen video frame."
Myself, I was thinking it's a good thing Eliezer restricted himself to text interaction during his "AI in the box" games; otherwise, anyone would have let him out after enduring five minutes of his motionless staring.
I really enjoy listening to these Bloggingheads episodes, but Eliezer can be unnerving to watch because of this trait.
I hate to do it, but I'll make another superficial suggestion because it may affect people's impression of you. Don't button the top button of your shirt unless you're wearing a tie. Shirts with somewhat larger collars are probably better.
It would be better if your camera was zoomed out a little.
I take it that a bookshelves backdrop, politician style, would be overdoing it? :-)
