Eliezer: I think that you misunderstand Roko, but that doesn't really matter, as he seems to understand you fairly well right now and to be learning effectively.

So WHO is Roko?

An ex-member who deleted all of his posts.

Thanks, I googled for roko + lesswrong and after reading some comments this whole Roko-affair seems to be kinda creepy...

A pity, mostly - he had a lot of useful contributions, got in an argument with Eliezer, and left after deleting all of his posts. I think he came back briefly a few months afterwards to clarify some of his positions, but didn't stay long. It's the kind of drama that seems unfortunately common in online communities :P
