For example, if I'm deciding right now whether to fund a mine for one of the materials needed to create this supposed superconductor, knowing how likely it is to be real helps me make a better decision or hedge my investment.

You're attempting to introduce a tangential point to cloud the issue, a typical Red Herring fallacy. Bowyakka was 100% incorrect. It is indisputable that U.S. medical R&D spending makes European spending appear insignificant.

Incorrect. You linked to the overall R&D spending data, not medical R&D spending. You can find the health R&D expenditure data here: https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/sites/health_glance-2017-72-en... It shows

Even if the exponential improvements, which have been happening in both hardware and AI algorithms, were to slow down to sub-exponential, this still assumes that exponential advancements are necessary for AI to reach a level where it can as

Why? Because we're nearing the theoretical limits or because AI will be too dumb to help or for other reasons?

Plenty of evidence contradicts the efficient market hypothesis, showing that it's possible to outperform the average. The market's late response to Covid is a case in point. The gambling analogy holds up only when you compare it t

I agree, but we got LG's 16:18 DualUp monitors a year ago. Having a 43'' monitor in the middle and these two on the sides creates a better setup than it was than what was previously possible.

Yudkowsky represents the extreme end of risk concern. You can't fault others who estimate the risk at 10%, with huge uncertainty about when this risk will materialize and its chances, for not behaving as you'd expect him to. Belie

I agree. If you speak with ML engineers, many simply haven't deeply considered longer-term risks and things like self-improvement until recently. I think we'll see more concern, not less. For me personally, GPT-3 wasn't that

If you read the survey, you'll find that many concerned researchers don't believe we're at a 90% chance of doom, but e.g. 10%. So, this type of response wouldn't be rational if they're thinking that things will go f

Nothing against the study, it seems interesting. But the article title is quite misleading considering that ketamine is not typically administered under general anesthesia for treating depression.
