Inventing an entire pseudoscientific field and then being mad no one wants to engage your arguments is ultimate "debate me" poster behavior.

  Lots of leading AI researchers actually are taking it seriously, including of course OpenAI, and recently Geoffrey Hinton who basically invented deep learning.

    Okay but as far as I know Geoffrey Hinton isn't an "A.I. Alignment Researcher." He was fairly dismissive about the risks of AI in his March 2023 interview and changed his mind by May 2023. I'm not sure that says much about the A.I. Alignment Researcher field.

      The commenter above assumed that nobody besides alignment researchers are convinced by their arguments. Now you're complaining that a leading AI researcher who's convinced is not an alignment researcher. I guess I'll give up on this subthread.

        The AI optimists are just impossible to reason with. When it comes to people… Expert who’s worried: conflict of interest or a quack Non-expert: dismissible because non-expert Was always worried: paranoiac Recently became worried: flip flopper with no conviction When it comes to the tech itself… Bullish case: AI is super powerful and will change the world for the better Bearish case: AI can’t do much lol what are you worried about they’re just words on a screen
