Except in his first comment he said:
In other words, if you were going to spend your career on AI x-safety, of course you could have become an expert on these questions first.
Which seems to say exactly “defer less” not “defer to a different person”.
Anyway, like I’ve said, what’s annoying is not his thesis, but the fact that he fabricated a disagreement by imagining a position I held (which I didn’t) and then not updating when I clarified (which I did), seemingly in order to talk about his thing that he cares about rather than the topic of the post.
Yeah that’s fair. I didn’t follow the “In other words” sentence (it doesn’t seem to be restating the rest of the comment in other words, but rather making a whole new (flawed) point).
