Sufficiently-Friendly AI can be hard for SIAI-now but easy or medium for non-SIAI-now (someone else now, someone else future, SIAI future). I personally believe this, since SIAI-now is fucked up (and SIAI-future very well will be too). (I won’t substantiate that claim here.) Eliezer didn’t talk about SIAI specifically. (He probably thinks SIAI will be at least as likely to succeed as anyone else because he thinks he’s super awesome, but it can’t be assumed he’d assert that with confidence, I think.)
SingInst seems a lot better since I wrote that comment; you and Luke are doing some cool stuff. Around August everything was in a state of disarray and it was unclear if you’d manage to pull through.

Will you substantiate it elsewhere?
Second that interest in hearing it substantiated elsewhere.
Your comments are a cruel reminder that I’m in a world where some of the very best people I know are taken from me.
