What is he on about? Sounds like his future blog posts could just be rambling about anything.
She was a brilliant cybersecurity researcher.
Nowadays seems to have switched to poetry. Not the first one to do that, recently...
IMHO she is up there on par with Yudkowsky.
Has she inspired any rationalist polycule harry potter fan fiction enthusiast cults that live on a decaying tugboat before murdering several people yet?

Please, please, please let this not be the incentive!
Apologies if I'm misreading 'incentive' and missing some jargon usage, ofc! Or if this just a lament that she's not a purist/gold star doomer? Cause I totally understand that.
In my ideal future, Joanna would write about things like :
- how do we secure LLMs leading up to AGI, presumably they can bypass our best attempt at airgap firewalls
- is consciousness different from thinking from intelligence ?
- how do we ensure AI is distributed so all humans can benefit, and not used as a multiplier of extreme wealth inequality ?
- whats missing in current AI LLMs ?
- a bias for truth / fact .. or a mode switch to make it bias truthiness
- reasoning by chains of formal language [ formal logic ]
- reasoning by chains of probabilistic inference [ bayesian logic ]
- reasoning by deep simulation [ stochastic modelling ]
- spatial reasoning [ 3D model of space, machinery, physics. 3D reconstruction. model of humans and animals with bones, muscles, mass ]
- mathematical modelling [ proposing formulae, checking fit ]
- psychological model of humans, of human populations, their needs / motivations / rewards and psychoses
An implication of the above is that future AGI will need to run on fast branching CPU _and_ massively parallel GPU with a fast data path between them - ie. balanced compute.
However, the best part will be discovering what the real Joanna writes about !
She is also famous for the Qubes OS project and coining the term "evil maid attack".
Blue-pilling is a method for malware to hide from the OS by virtualizing it, not an attack on VMs. That's why it's called "blue pilling". I do agree though that VMs are not airtight and VM escapes have been demonstrated.
