Opinions vary, but I posted a link to a web page that he co-authored, which I would argue stands as a very significant and deep dismissal of his views on AI. If, after reading that essay, a person still feels that Scott Alexander has something interesting to say about AI, then I challenge them to defend that thesis.
Probably better for me to have remained silent out of politeness, but if anyone follows that link to the https://ai-2027.com/ https://ai-2027.com/ page then I feel I have done my part to help inform that person of the lack of rigor in Scott Alexander's thinking around AI.
- dang 11mo agoOk! I take your point that your comment was more related to the topic of this thread than I assumed it was. Probably if you had phrased it in a slightly more informative way, that pattern-matched slightly less to internet-dismissal-trope, I'd have understood that better the first time. (By internet-dismissal-trope in this case I mean something of the form "After X, I am no longer interested in person Y".)
