it's worth acknowledging about the rationalists that they give lip service to empiricism but the Big Problem around which they nucleated, AI safety, was a problem where eliezer yudkowsky carefully explained that empiricism was impossible so theorizing was our only hope

probably every time i say “rationalists” i should say “bay area rationalists.” can you briefly describe what you take me to be saying and what you disagree with about it? i think i’m trying to make several points here incoherently so i’m not sure i’m even coming across accurately
