I've been a donor for a long time, but every now and then I've wondered whether I should be - and the fact that they don't publish more has been one of the main reasons why I've felt those doubts.

I do expect the paper thing to actually be the true rejection of a lot of people. I mean, demanding some outputs is one of the most basic expectations you could have.

I consider "donating to SIAI" to be on the same level as "donating to webcomics" - I pay Eliezer for the entertainment value of his writing, in the same spirit as when I bought G.E.B. and thereby paid Douglas Hofstadter for the entertainment value of his writing.
