I'm impressed (you have to be) with the AI box experiments.
I am confused and a little suspicious that he did a round with Carl Shulman as gatekeeper, where Carl let him out, whereas two others did not let him out. (If I misremembered someone please correct me.) Not sure exactly what about that feels suspicious to me, though...
The record of AI box experiments (those involving Eliezer) is as follows:
Basically this: "Eliezer Yudkowsky writes and pretends he's an AI researcher but probably hasn't written so much as an Eliza bot."
While the Eliezer S. Yudkowsky site has lots of divulgation articles and his work on rationality is of indisputable value, I find myself at a loss when I want to respond to this. Which frustrates me very much.
So, to avoid this sort of situation in the future, I have to ask: What did the man, Eliezer S. Yudkowsky, actually accomplish in his own field?
Please don't downvote the hell out of me, I'm just trying to create a future reference for this sort of annoyance.
