Maybe I'm missing something. I'll fully concede that a transhuman AI could easily get out of the box. But that experiment doesn't even seem remotely similar. The gatekeeper has meta-knowledge that it's an experiment, which makes it completely unrealistic.

That being said, I'm shocked Eliezer was able to convince them.

I am not. I would be shocked if he was able to convince wedrifid. I doubt it though.

Isn’t that redundant? (Sorry for nit-picking, I’m just wondering if I’m missing something.)
