Omg, can you stop with this? I want to be able to enjoy the series without constantly people reminding me how bad the author is. I know. I’m not giving her money.
he’s a techbro in that his understanding of ai safety is based on a religious belief that it will one day kill us all. his opinions on ai safety are not useful.
It’s not a religious belief, lol. It actually makes sense, if you understand AI. If you don’t, you could try watching the YouTube channel Robert Miles to learn more about the science of this.

I follow HP news regularly, but wasn’t aware about the author latest moves. Other people are probably in that case as well.
Thank you for the recommendations. I really enjoyed His Dark Materials, but it still feels different due to the different tone. HDM is much more mature and serious, and less whimsical than HP, especially with the lack of the daily life at Hogwarts. Not sure if any other series has a similar setting while still being distinct rather than a complete copy-paste, hence this thread.

Anyway, Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, His Dark Materials, Percy Jackson
HPMoR author is an AI techbro with some real bad opinions. and unlike jk, they are apparent in the book on a first read.
HPMoR never really clicked for me.
This just reminded me the author was a bit controversial, this page addresses those (“Controversy and Criticism” section): https://fanlore.org/wiki/Harry_Potter_and_the_Methods_of_Rationality
AI techbro? Eliezer Yudkowsky is an AI Safety expert, and I don’t know his opinions related to other non-AI things

i’ve been working with ml systems since about 2014.
This is the second post made about this topic on the community today. Seems relevant due to JKR latest declarations.
I just noticed there was a third post (https://slrpnk.net/post/23014087), but my instance blocks advocate.com for some reason (just messaged the admin about this).
