Have the key points of that ‘debate’ subsequently been summarized or clarified on LW? I found that debate exasperating in that Hanson and EY were mainly talking past each other and couldn’t seem to hone in on their core disagreements.
I know it generally has to do with hard takeoff / recursive self-improvement vs more gradual EM revolution, but that’s not saying all that much.

I’m in the process of writing a summary and analysis of the key arguments and points in that debate.
The most recent version runs at 28 pages—and that’s just an outline.
If you need help with grunt work, please send me a message. If (as I suspect is the case) not, then good luck!
Thanks, I’m fine. I posted a half-finished version here, and expect to do some further refinements soon.
Awesome, look forward to it. I’d offer to help but I suspect that wouldn’t really help. I’ll just wax enthusiastic.
