I would also object to his implication that the only time-sensitive thing about AGI safety is to figure it out before AGI comes. The other thing is determining which of today’s many ongoing research paths towards AGI is likeliest to lead to an AGI architecture that’s amenable to being used safely and beneficially. …And that kind of information is only useful if we get it WAY before AGI is around the corner. :-)
