Mr Doctorov has a nice life where he needs to make no tough decisions. I envy a life without least-worse voting and other harm-reduction efforts, where one can write what he dreams and people will happily consume it.

    Why is there always some person hating on Cory when he's talked about? Astroturfing? He's the person we desperately need right now and everyone needs to listen to him. And Ed.

    They're two of the most visible faces with valid, well thought out critiques of the AI bubble. It's only natural that true believers (or people with a vested interest in AI) come out of the woodwork to trash them, they're scared.

    Really? Dude has cancer and a kid in college, and yet chooses to write this. I'm pretty sure he has tough decisions. He also is very much not an uncompromising idealist, pointing to very specific solutions and dismissing others.
