When I read posts like this I feel like an independent everyman watching a political debate.
The dialogue is oversimplified and even then I don't fully grasp exactly what's being said and the implications thereof, so I can almost feel my opinion shifting back and forth with each point that sounds sort of, kinda, sensible when I don't really have the capacity to judge the statements. I should probably try and fix that.
The analogy is apt: blue-vs.-green politics aren't the only kind of politics, and debates over singularity policy have had big mind-killing effects on otherwise-pretty-rational LW folk before.
The core points don't strike me as being inherently difficult or technical, although Eliezer uses some technical examples.
That's precisely the problem, given that Eliezer is arguing that a technical appreciation of difficult problems is necessary to judge correctly on this issue. My understanding, like pleeppleep's, is limited to the simplified level given here, which means I'm reduced to giving weight to presentation and style and things being "kinda sensible".
