Eliezer complements Musk, Musk negs Eliezer
Some light sneerclub content in these dark times.
Eliezer complements Musk on the creation of community notes. (A project which predates the takeover of twitter by a couple of years (see the join date: https://twitter.com/CommunityNotes )).
In reaction Musk admits he never read HPMOR and he suggests a watered down Turing test involving HPMOR.
Eliezer invents HPMOR wireheads in reaction to this.

oh, Elon, no! have you not considered the deadly perils of AI in this case? if you create a high-quality Harry Potter fanfiction that gets extended faster than people can read, I'm pretty sure some readers will never come back out again
HPMOR specifically is famous for doing this to some readers! They're aiming their AI at one of the most dangerous targets!
I haven’t had my caffeine yet today, but yud’s replies and all the blue checks not worth quoting are making me cringe so hard the exertion is forcing me awake
The 'Some readers' example being Aella, and her admitting she is also a very slow reader made it just that much better. And then the various bluechecks admitting they are also now addicted to reading HPMOR.
If they are enjoying that, their second fiction book will be even better!
It's sad when people pretend to have read some great piece of literature (like War and Peace), but at least it's understandable from a social perspective - the pretender wishes to conform to an ideal of a cultivated person.
It's hard to say if it's sadder or just more pathetic to pretend to have read a piece of dreck like HPMOR.
I read War and Peace but have only vague memories of it, because I read it in eighth grade. We had an "accelerated reader" program, you see, in which we were supposed to read books and then take quizzes on them to accumulate points. The longer books counted for more. Nearly all of the list we could pick from looked incredibly boring, so I decided to get a year's worth of points in one go.
Congratulations?
