So, in your view, starting MIRI, doing fundamental research into AI safety and advocating for it, is not trying to find the damn light?
You exemplify exactly the attitude he's trying to combat. "Oh, nobody knows anything, let's not care about consequences and do whatever."

- YeGoblynQueenne 9y agoSorry but I don't really see Yudkowski's contributions as "fundamental research into AI safety". More like navel-gazing without any practical implications. At best, listening to him is just a waste of time. At worse, AGI is a real imminent threat and having people like him generating useless noise like he does will make it harder for legitimate concerns to be heard, when the time comes.
- gliptic 9y agoSo you don't think they're doing anything worthwhile at https://intelligence.org/ https://intelligence.org/. I'm going to guess you actually have no idea and are just extrapolating from some articles you read. What are _you_ doing to make legitimate concerns heard then? Did you even read the article you were complaining about?
- YeGoblynQueenne 9y agoYes, I did and it's very bad form to go around asking people if they read the article. Try to remember that different people form different opinions from similar information.
- gliptic 9y agoWell, then you should have noticed what the article was about, which was not to detail a research program about AI safety. Different articles can address different aspects of a problem without being accused of advocating "random action". That's just ridiculous.
