      In reality, but it was a towering monolith of motivated reasoning that sought to reach the conclusion "therefore we'll be reincarnated on a computer."

      But it was very good at making a particular sort of autodidact with questionable social skills feel like the center of the universe. (Yudkowsky, unsurprisingly, is an autodidact with questionable social skills.)

      Yudkowsky eventually got himself bankrolled by Peter Thiel and created an "AI research" nonprofit that has conducted no notable AI research but has pissed off the entire effective altruism movement by loudly arguing that funding its AI is more important than preventing malaria.

      Dominic Cummings is a documented fan of Yudkowsky, and the herd immunity scheme is a dead ringer for the sort of "we ignored all expert discussion of this topic, started from first principles to reinvent the wheel, and ended up with a really lumpy wheel" style Yudkowsky employs.

      I *suspect* that Arthur read the headline but not the essay and mistakenly thought that there were Jeffrey Epstein/Yudkowsky connections. This wouldn't be a shock by any means—Yudkowsky's fandom has massive "Me Too" issues and plenty "actually it's called ephebophilia" sorts.

      But it's not actually relevant to this. I doubt Cummings got "herd immunity" from Yudkowsky in any direct sort of way, but if you want to understand how he could come up with that sort of fucking idiocy, his idolization of Yudkowsky is absolutely key to understanding it.

      Robin Hanson's essay on Overcoming Bias is absolutely patient zero for "herd immunity" as a strategy for coronavirus

          he's been hammering it *hard* in podcasts and stuff too. Hanson really truly believes this shit.
