People need to understand that Eliezer was the original AI optimist. It was literally his life goal to bring about the singularity as fast as possible. If you look into his writings over the years, you will understand that today's AI optimists are far behind his depth of thought about this situation.

ChatGPT told me everything is going to be fine so I'm not worried.

“How To Stay Alive In The Woods” is the green book with orange letters at his right shoulder. Very good survival book for anyone interested in moving off grid and disappearing. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRvAt4H7d7E&t=1814">30:14</a>

An hour and a half has never been enough for this topic. Even 3+ hour interviews barely scratch the surface of the problem

And we are just racing right towards that conclusion as fast as possible for some reason.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRvAt4H7d7E&t=1610">26:50</a> A man goes on the Chris Williamson podcast. "I am concerned about ASI killing us all. We don't know how to make it aligned to human values." Chris lights up. The solution, after all, is simple. "A great man has developed Coherent Extrapolated Volition." He tells him, "Go and see him. He will align your ASI." The man bursts into tears. "But doctor..."

I'm embarrassed to admit that I dismissed Mr. Yudkowsky. I've seen him on several podcasts. That is, until you gave him enough breathing room to explain even the surface level of his argument. Thanks Chris. A lot of people who think they are informed are getting a deeper level of knowledge here.
