I’m never a big fan of this sort of… cognitive rewiring? Juggling definitions? This post reinforces my bias, since it’s written from a point of very stong bias itself.
AI optimists think AI will go well and be helpful.
AI pessimists think AI will go poorly and be harmful.
It’s not that deep.
The post itself is bordering on insulting anyone who has a different opinion than the author (who, no doubt, would prefer the label “AI strategist” than “AI extremists”). I was thinking about going into the details of why, but honestly… this is unlikely to be productive discourse coming from a place where the “other side” is immediately compared to nationalists (?!) or extremists (?!!!).
I’m an AI optimist. I think AI will go well and will help humanity flourish, through both capabilities and alignment research. I think things will work out. That’s all.
