Going solely on what Eliezer has said about 'exceeding your role models', I would take that with a grain of salt. I've never met Eliezer, but although he comes off as extremely intelligent, judging by his writings and level of achievement (which are impressive) he still does not come off to me as, say, Von Neumann intelligent.
Eliezer's writings have clarified my thoughts a great deal and given me a stronger sense of purpose. He is a very intelligent researcher and gifted explainer and evangelist, but I don't take his word as Gospel, I take it as generally very good advice.
Wouldn't dispute that.
I seem to recall you saying as much - at one time as not quite like a thousand year old vampire and at another as not 'glittery'. It only occurs to me now that that combination make Jaynes a thousand year old Twilight vampire. Somehow that takes some of the impressiveness out of the metaphor, Luminosity revamp (cough) or not!
