I’ve thougt about this situation, and I would like to know the context in which Eliezer said this. Was he talking about creating friendly AI? This was my first thought, but he’s also talked about the dangers of running headlong into that problem.
In the typical bystander problem, you don’t have to be a doctor or a medic, you sometimes just have to dial 911. You probably don’t need any specific skills to save the world. You just have to make sure you don’t delude yourself into thinking your actions are sufficient.
And don’t worry, I promise not to not save the world.
