    This is quite a grandiose plan for someone writing a LessWrong blog post. And there’s a decent chance it won’t work out for either technical reasons or because I can’t find the resources and talent to help me solve all the technical challenges.

    The phrase “technical reasons” is doing an absolutely majestic amount of work in this sentence.

          LWers love Ashkenazi so much they’ll happily have some even without the Ashke.

      If only he were neither constrained by technical hurdles or resources, dang.
