[Holden's critique] already has a warm place in my heart... as the second attempt to mount informed criticism of SIAI.

To those who think Eliezer is exaggerating: please link me to "informed criticism of SIAI."

It is so hard to find good critics.

Edit: Well, I guess there are more than two examples, though relatively few. I was wrong to suggest otherwise. Much of this has to do with the fact that SI hasn't been very clear about many of its positions and arguments: see Beckstead's comment and Hallquist's followup.

This is a bit exasperating. Did you not see my comments in this thread? Have you and Eliezer considered that if there really have been only two attempts to mount informed criticism of SIAI, then LessWrong must be considered a massive failure that SIAI ought to abandon ASAP?
