No, I was actually refering to a separate thread involving Eliezer

"unconcious cognition".

Yes, thank you, bowing to the audience. Anders under a pledge
of non-disclosure (not to say a bribe of 3.94 * 10^8 stars
worth of energy resources) has divulged this method to me.
I am looking forward, with immense anticipation, to the day
when Eliezer looks into the bowels of his transcendent AI
and sees my face staring out at him.... :-)

retro-legends and magic physics. Aaaaaaaaahhhhh......

Nope, the at-risk computational systems are those that attempt
to self-evolve without a backup copy.
