Makes sense. Toby Ord? Does Anders count? Or the actual Bostrom? I think that crowd did better than OP by quite a bit, and the wider Oxford AI safety community was quite good. I only met them months before ChatGPT. Will seems still surprisingly (from my view over-) optimistic, but is doing some pretty relevant and good work right now, and is usually careful to caveat where his optimistic assumptions are loadbearing.
(I’d say yes to Toby, who was a figurehead for the movement and cofounder GWWC, but no to Anders/Bostrom, who were far more removed politically and philosophically.)
