My impression is that LW is well off the cliff already, given the replies to posts by or links to the AI researchers who are skeptical of the UFAI issue. The quantum physics reaction is no better. There is a lot of noise here from the well-meaning and overconfident amateurs who refuse to identify as such.
The fact that the sequence you are referring to is known as the "Quantum Mechanics" sequence is evidence of the failure of that sequence to achieve its goal.
It was called that by its author, wasn't it?
If I write a book with the primary goal of teaching calculus, then spend 2/3 of the book arguing that Leibniz invented calculus before Newton, I'm likely to fail at teaching calculus.
If I title the book, "Leibniz was Right," I'm just compounding the error, right?
