I just wanted to flag that this post hasn’t been reviewed yet, despite being one of the most nominated posts. (And mosts of the nominations here are quite short).
The most obvious sort of review that’d be good to see is from people who were in this post’s target demographic (i.e. people who hadn’t understood or been unpersuaded about what sort of problem MIRI is trying to solve), about whether this post actually helped them understand that.
I’d also be interested in reviews that grapple a bit more with “how well exactly does this metaphor hold up?”, although I’m not sure how to go about that.
