Lots of people are talking about Eliezer Yudkowsky of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute right now. So I thought I'd put together a thread about Yudkowsky for the general public and journalists (such as those at @TIME). I hope this is useful. 🧵

I've been reading a lot of Lauren Berlant over this cruel year: their writing has been a refuge and inspiration. So when I heard the terrible news, I instinctively turned to the words Berlant wrote when Eve Sedgwick died:
Saddened by the loss of Lauren Berlant.
We are deeply saddened to learn of the death of Lauren Berlant, one of our bestselling authors and a great friend to the Press. A full remembrance will come later this week, in the meantime, this @NewYorker article is a good piece on their work and legacy. ow.ly/Cj3350FjZIF
