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.

- ethanbond 3y agoThe 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
