To be fair, while I personally do perceive the SIAI as being arrogant, I haven't seen any public tantrums. As far as I can tell, all their public discourse has been quite civil.

The most significant example was the Roko incident. The relevant threads and comments were all censored during the later part of his tantrum. Not a good day in the life of Eliezer's reputation.

Fair enough; I was unaware of the Roko incident (understandably so, since apparently it was Sovieted from history). I have now looked it up elsewhere, though. Thanks for the info.
