Another review of Yudkowsky and Soares: if anyone reads it, everyone laughs (sadly, Substack). This one gestures to the whole university of academic fields that a book like this touches on.
The reviewer mentions “The wickedly smart Scott Aaronson” and maybe he means Aaronson’s academic publications because his general blogging is not impressive.

Wow, that’s probably one of the most in-depth critiques of the book I’ve heard. Kudos to the OP

a world where lots of matter and energy was spent on its weird and alien needs, rather than on human beings staying alive and happy and free Good thing we don’t live in a world like that right guys?
