Yeah, Iâm not a Yudkowsky fan. But I think the fact that he mostly hasnât been a PR disaster is striking, surprising and not much remarked upon, including by people who are big fans.
I guess in thinking about this I realize itâs so hard to even know if someone is a âPR disasterâ that I probably have just been confirming my biases. What makes you say that he hasnât been?
Just the stuff I already said about the success he seems to have had. It is also true that many people hate him and think heâs ridiculous, but I think that makes him polarizing rather than disastrous. I suppose you could phrase it as âhe was a disaster in some ways but a success in othersâ if you want to.
