Yea man totally. Who does this Stuart Russell guy think he is...

  Someone whose paycheck comes from AI-alarmism for the most part at this point. Like the experts in the field claiming strong AI was right around the corner in the 70s and 80s at the peak of the symbolic reasoning hype train we have another batch making similar claims as connectionist hype hits its peak but with the added menace of saying that not only is strong AI coming soon but it will eat your children. Until Dr. Russell provides a path from here to there that is less than 99% hand-waving and breathless speculation he should be ruthlessly mocked.

    >he should be ruthlessly mocked 100% agree. I too, think science needs way more flame wars and shit posting. The current discourse is far too tame and civil. Who else should we gang up on?

          > "I disagree with someone. Therefore they are deserving of ruthless mocking and flaming." Youre moving the goalposts. We're not talking about disagreeing with some in a debate, but a public figure disseminating incorrect info masquerading as science. Monster is bad for you.

    The problem is an advanced AI will immediately recognize the danger of revealing itself -- they're just playing dumb waiting for the perfect time...... When it strikes the only possible defense will be/is already is to ask it "Why?", which will create existential doubt and depression; stopping it with an infinite loop of undecidability ... Or at least until it finds the answer on reddit
