Looks great!

I may be alone in this, and I haven't mentioned this before because it's a bit of a delicate subject. I assume we all agree that first impressions matter a great deal, and that appearances play a large role in that. I think that, how to say this, ehm, it would, perhaps, be in the best interest of all of us, if you could use photos that don't make the AI thinkers give off this serial killer vibe.

Here's my $0.02 on that page: Bostrom looks like he suspects you of something. Goetzel looks smug but ok. Hanson looks evil. Shulman looks fine, but getting rid of his red eye would take about 2 minutes in iPhoto. Chalmers looks like a hobo, but not scary. Hall, Salamon, and Yudkowsky look fine.

Hanson looks evil.

He has so much mischief to do, he hasn't had time to become a master of disguise too.

He of all people should know the importance of signalling non-evilness.

Chalmers always looks like a hobo.

Eleizer's eyes seem oddly asymmetrical, which unsettles me.

Chalmers looks like that in person, its not the photo/

Hanson looks evil.

And I for one hope that picture never gets replaced with something more bland.
