This is what I'm talking about! There's a distinction between being right and seeming right that we need to be aware of! "In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice"

Eliezer is probably going to seem convincing, he's a great writer and a reasonably eloquent speaker - his audience is humans.

Goerge Hotz's competence is machines, and he's exceptional at interfacing with them. Yes, I trust the less eloquent tinkerer who's only famous for his preternatural understanding of machines over any theoretician and 1000x more than a (pretty good!) writer.
