So? We should manage the application of AI. Accepting that the toothpaste can't be put back in the tube isn't the same thing as ignoring AI safety. Researchers don't know everything, and we're treating people's opinions as facts when they're anything but. Ultimately, the only way we're going to find the answers is not by constantly ruminating but by waiting to see what's going to happen. Also, the examples that guy is using are hardly comparable. Contemplating overpopulation on Mars is not applicable to the real world. Contemplating how to manage the consequences of AI is. We are so far from so much as stepping foot on Mars that it's pretty ridiculous that someone thinks it's valuable to dedicate time to Martian overpopulation.

You want to know how I know that you didn't actually listen to the content of the video? But hey, go on and ignore AI safety researchers pointing out the alignment issues we are already experiencing.

  Snarky, much? I'm sorry that I apparently didn't get the point of your video. Again, with the "ignore" thing. You brought that word into the conversation, not I. There's a world of difference between ignoring ideas and not blindly listening to ideas as if they have a completely factual basis. And no, I'm not interested in what you're thinking I did with the lack of respect you bring here. I'd be fine continuing the discussion if you drop the assumption you're making of me.
