I was at first confused by Eliezer's requests at the end of Ch. 119. I missed his Author's Notes, which his explains his rationale behind them. I thought I would share in case others missed it, especially because readers on LessWrong may have more elite or broader networks to help Eliezer achieve his new goals.

Eliezer is seeking the possibility of gaining J. K. Rowling's permission to publish HPMoR in some form, and have the profits donated to a U.K. charity. To this end, he wants to contact someone who can put him in touch with either J. K. Rowling, or Daniel Radcliffe.
If you're attending or supporting Worldcon through 2015-17, and think Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality is worthy, please nominate it to win Best Novel for the 2016 Hugo Awards.
The Machine Intelligence Research Institute is looking to hire at least one new executive, and very competent mathematicians for its research.
Eliezer is thinking on what fiction to next write. He would re-edit an old script of his if and only if someone contacts with him to make either a movie with high-quality special effects, or an anime. Otherwise, he is seeking to work with the Collective Intelligence (the problem-solving force composed of the HPMoR readership). Check it out if you consider yourself part of the CI.
Eliezer is seeking to contact John Paulson the hedge-fund manager, to represent a financier as their angel investor, and other investment opportunities.

Eliezer has several other projects he might be interested in. Learn more by clicking the link.

In what way is it a seriously substantial movement?

I guess those are pretty vague words. It's a (set of) research projects followed by thousands, if not tens of thousands, of people. Among these people are philanthropists and entrepreneurs who have donated millions of dollars to the cause, and seem to be on track to donate even more money. It's received attention and support from major scientist, and some world-famous people, including Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, and very recently Bill Gates. He's been published alongside the academics from the Future of Humanity Institute, and his work has merited the res... (read more)
