They were not right about everything and they - at least Yudkowsky - has not made specific predictions about "when AGI" will happen that I am aware of. But he did predict it is possible in our lifetimes, which I was very skeptical of. He did predict alignment would be hard - I was in the "why would we even hook it up to the internet?" crowd. He thought he should spend his time on that, and I wish he'd done more of that, or at least convinced others to do more of that.

- agos 8d agoFor those out of the loop like me, what is the “everything” they were right about? Is there like a list?
- jeremyjh 8d agoThe comment said they were not right about everything. I don’t have a list of the predictions or priors you had 20 years ago. I just have my list and I already mentioned them. If this is all new to you, you can’t really do the exercise.
- watwut 7d agoHis idea of "alignement" is my idea of "dangerous dystopia".
- jeremyjh 7d agoAlignment means the AI shares the values its creators intended for it. It is not a specific set of values. He has some, sure. For example he wants human society and creative intelligence to survive.
- watwut 7d agoBut they do have specific values. > For example he wants human society and creative intelligence to survive. They want transhumanism - humans evolved by merging with machines. If we die in the process, it does not matter as long as minority survives and "evolves" they see it as wanted result. I am not OK with minor nor larger genocide, I dont mind at all if we dont evolve.
