Thinking about or thinking about thinking about, does he have any credentials at all other than basically being early
- yreg 4y agoWhat credentials beyond "thinking about this problem a lot" would satisfy you? He works at his own research institute dedicated to this topic, wrote some books on it and other (self proclaimed) alignment experts take him seriously.
- mhh__ 4y agoI think he's a pseud with no real connection to AI research. I'm not saying he's stupid or anything like that I just don't see any useful scientific output from him.
- tanseydavid 4y agoI think he worked with Kurzweil and Ben Goertzel at some point.
- FeepingCreature 4y agoI mean, his whole thing is "progress on AI research leads to the apocalypse." He's done some work on decision theory, but they're not connected to DL, presumably because he thought "well if DL works out in the short term we're all dead anyways." Which seems to be what's happening.
