In contrast to some sibling commenters, I'm glad EY isn't doing an AMA. It sometimes didn't turn out well in the past when people unfamiliar with the sequences tried to ask him questions.

That was exactly my reaction to reading Luke's AMA - "no, I probably shouldn't try this."

What past instances are you referring to?

I wonder if he'd be willing to do an AMA on /r/HPMOR

I don't think there would be anything to gain by this. Generally speaking good questions about HPMOR get answered either in r/HPMOR or in the LW discussion threads on HPMOR. He would probably ignore bad questions anyway.
