boazbarak—I don’t understand your implication that my position is ‘radical’.
I have exactly the same view on the magnitude of ASI extinction risk that every leader of a major AI company does—that it’s a significant risk.
The main difference between them and me is that they are willing to push ahead with ASI development despite the significant risk of human extinction, and I think they are utterly evil for doing so, because they’re endangering all of our kids.
In my view, risking extinction for some vague promise of an ASI utopia is the radical position. Protecting us from extinction is a mainstream, commonsense, utterly normal human position.
