Yeah - the basilisk thing is mostly a joke as far as I can tell and has little to do with the AGI goal alignment friendly AI work or the control problem. Miri

Yeah - the basilisk thing is mostly a joke as far as I can tell and has little to do with the AGI goal alignment friendly AI work or the control problem. Miri is mostly focused on the AGI control problem and thinks that AGI is closer than others believe. If true, all other problems are pretty irrelevant. There is real work in ML bias and fairness to be done too, but it seems overrun by toxic personalities and partisan politics.
