I’m glad to see that publishing the Sequences is being prioritized. LessWrong is, sadly, dying and I’d love to have a published, edited version of Eliezer’s original work that I can send to people.
Quite the opposite, in my opinion. To me it looks like it’s growing up. The discussions are less and less in the informal style of the Sequences (which were meant to be informal, so that’s on-target) and more and more formal.
And yet I see less and less evidence that people are actually reading the sequences, and more that this is being treated as “just another place to talk about your favourite ‘philosophical’ topics”. Well, maybe the comments always sucked, but that’s what it seems like to me.
Sent a check for $15,000.

Received it! Thanks!
Yup, we are definitely aiming to have the Sequences book (not titled that) out by the end of the year.
Any hints coming our way as to what the book edition will be titled? :)
After substantial agonizing and market research, we finally settled on:
Rationality, A to Z: Thinking Clearly about Beliefs, Values, and the World
(The posts are re-organized into three “volumes,” which correspond roughly to volumes on beliefs, values, and the world.)
Bah, I hoped for from AI to Zombies, but I suppose it’s close enough.
