1) This is unrelated and off-topic mockery of MIRI. Are you conceding the original point?
2) It is factually wrong that MIRI 'uncontroversially cranks'. You've probably noticed this, given that you are on a website with technical members where the majority opinion is that MIRI is correct-ish, you are commenting on an article by somebody unaffiliated with MIRI supporting MIRI's case, and you are responding directly to people [Wedrifid and I] unaffiliated with MIRI who support MIRI's case. Note also MIRI's peer reviewed publications and its research advisors.
This is not 'uncontroversial'.
The survey in question did not actually ask whether they thought MIRI were cranks. In fact, it asked no questions about MIRI whatsoever, and presumably most respondents had never heard of MIRI.
Every respondent but Loosemore who did specifically mention MIRI (Demski, Carrier, Eray Ozkural) were positive about them. (Schmidhuber, Legg, and Orseau have all worked with MIRI, but did not mention it. If you regard collaboration as endorsement, then they have all also apparently endorsed MIRI.)
You are still failing to address the original point.
