A lot of people are suggesting something like "SIAI should publish more papers", but I'm not sure anyone (including those who are making the suggestion) would actually change their behavior based on that. It sounds an awful lot like "SIAI should hire a PhD".
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.
