“Richard Sutton rejects AI Risk” seems misleading in my view. What risks is he rejecting specifically?
His view seems to be that AI will replace us, humanity as we know it will go extinct, and that is okay. E.g., here he speaks positively of a Moravec quote, “Rather quickly, they could displace us from existence”. Most would consider our extinction as a risk they are referring to when they say “AI Risk”.
I didn’t know that when posting this comment, but agree that that’s a better description of his view! I guess the ‘unalloyed good’ he’s talking about involves the extinction of humanity.

Yes. And this actually seems to be a relatively common perspective from what I’ve seen.
