Have the key points of that 'debate' subsequently been summarized or clarified on LW? I found that debate exasperating in that Hanson and EY were mainly talking past each other and couldn't seem to hone in on their core disagreements.

I know it generally has to do with hard takeoff / recursive self-improvement vs more gradual EM revolution, but that's not saying all that much.

I'm in the process of writing a summary and analysis of the key arguments and points in that debate.

The most recent version runs at 28 pages - and that's just an outline.

If you need help with grunt work, please send me a message. If (as I suspect is the case) not, then good luck!

Thanks, I'm fine. I posted a half-finished version here, and expect to do some further refinements soon.

Awesome, look forward to it. I'd offer to help but I suspect that wouldn't really help. I'll just wax enthusiastic.
