What can be done to improve our chances? I assume more funding for SI is a good idea, and I don’t know how much I can do beyond that (math/philosophy/AI are not my expertise).
We’ll have some suggestions of potentially promising research directions in our survey paper. But if you’re asking about what you yourself can do, then I don’t have anything very insightful to suggest besides the normal recommendations of raising the waterline, spreading the word about these issues, and seeing if there’s any other volunteer work that you could do.
Scary.

Waterline stuff is important, too.
