If you want to attack Bostrom in earnest, you may have to redo his calculations and things become rather technical and you will have to be smarter than Anders Sandberg and good luck with that. Otherwise you can just smear him, and while that has an audience, it is boring.

I think his weakness as with rationalists is in the metaphysical foundations, not technical. But not a battle I’m picking anyway. It’s all mostly harmless.

I disagree. The most significant criticism of Bostrom is not that he might get some argument wrong, but that his flights may not be practically relevant. Chapman is relevant, but a broken metaphysical foundation is precisely the problem of his work, and leads to "nebulosity".
