Don't make me play the tiresome fallacy pointing game... I'm not making any definite predictions. It might or might not come. What I'm doing is expressing the doubt in anyone's ability to see through higher order effects, and especially in the goodwill of these people.
OpenAI's charter [1], for example, is so insanely naive and idealistic, and at the same time doesn't seem to be just an empty marketing piece (they expressed the same ideas for many years). Whoever wrote this thing is clearly either has absolutely no clue on how the society functions, or is trying to hide malicious intentions behind the bullshit. In either case, I have a really hard time believing that someone who wrote this can make useful predictions.

- ethanbond 3y agoI’m not making a definite prediction and many “doomers” aren’t either. And if your position is “idk what will happen, might be good, might be bad,” then there’s not much I can disagree with you on. I disagree with people who dismiss the entire project of AI alignment as unnecessary, despite the difficulties we have with human alignment as a person gains power who has the advantage of decades of socialization and somewhat reliable underlying biology.
