I read Bostrom's book SUPERINTELLIGENCE back when I worked at Google —

Blaise A— insisted that it go on the "AI" SF book club reading list

(as an aside: I started the book club; we were mostly reading, uh, cautionary stories)

SUPERINTELLIGENCE is garbage, & I said so: throw around big numbers until your moral calculus has a floating-point overflow & you can be convinced of obviously crazy things

(phrasing wasn't so clean at the time)

... nine months later I was no longer working for Google
