“Trigger the audience into figuring out what went wrong with MIRI’s collective past thinking and decision-making” would be a strange purpose from a post written by the founder of MIRI, its key decision-maker, and a long-time proponent of secrecy in how the organization should relate to outsiders (or even how members inside the organization should relate to other members of MIRI).
Not disagreeing with your point, just want to add the datapoint that for me it did lead me to something like “giving up faith in” MIRI. I no longer believed that they were working on a plan for getting the problem solved, and so I resigned myself to the world where I had to take responsibility for the problem getting solved.
“Death with dignity” was clearly intended to trigger the audience to HMCF right? He was doing exactly what you are asking for
