A number of credible people think that AI safety may be an 'in our lifetimes' problem, and serious work is being done to get it right. This is the kind of thing a longtermist would support, because getting AI safety wrong could have terrible consequences for the future of life.

- notahacker 5y agoWell nobody can dispute that OpenAI is doing serious work, although whether selling API access to the text output of a neural network is actually using the philanthropic dollars invested to save humanity is another question. Also, the research institute whose most notable output is Harry Potter fanfic did write quite good fanfic!
