How is someone so young and general in skill (he doesn't seem to be a technical person or coder) have the ability to be "...advising OpenAI executives and the OpenAI board on AGI readiness"? And why the need for such a long blog post, in a company which he doesn't play a significant role?

Have you seen LessWrong? Long, boring, navel-gazing blog posts is all they know how to do, yet they think they're the main character of the story.

You were downvoted but you’re not wrong. They are navel gazing. However, they are the main character of their own story so to speak. they just fail to see the plot and other characters around them. Lesswrong is self-indulgent narcisssim purporting to be rationalism

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Not necessarily, I don't feel, but close. There was a recent blog about an epidemic of Neotoddlerism that explained that four attributes that we have as children and should grow out of contribute to cluster B personality disorders: - Attention seeking - Entitlement - Grandiosity - Impulsivity This seems like just attention seeking, possibly with grandiosity but I don't know the author so I don't know.

This one? https://www.gurwinder.blog/p/the-outrageous-rise-of-neotoddl...
