Robin Hanson kinda killed it here:

Did Jones answer Hanson's objection? Rereading, it seems a bit knockdown, and past-EY's attempts to evade it seem like past-EY was updating too slowly, I shoulda just said "Oops."

The first commenter on Jones' post linked to that, too; I had somehow never read that post of EY's before.
