Steelmanning MIRI critics

I’m giving a talk to the Boulder Future Salon in Boulder, Colorado in a few weeks on the Intelligence Explosion hypothesis. I’ve given it once before in Korea but I think the crowd I’m addressing will be more savvy than the last one (many of them have met Eliezer personally). It could end up being important, so I was wondering if anyone considers themselves especially capable of playing Devil’s Advocate so I could shape up a bit before my talk? I’d like there to be no real surprises.

I’d be up for just messaging back and forth or skyping, whatever is convenient.
