  there is an issue with surface level insights being unfaily weighted, but this is solvable, imo. especially with youtube, which can see which commenters have watched the full video.

  You can compete with someone more intelligent but less hard working by being more organized, disciplined, focused and hard working. And being open to improvement.

  “I think “increasing” requires some baseline, and I don’t think it’s obvious what baseline to pick here.

  For example, consider instead the question “is MIRI decreasing the existential risks related to AI?”. Well, are we comparing to the world where everyone currently employed at MIRI vanishes? Or are we comparing to the world where MIRI as an organization implodes, but the employees are still around, and find jobs somewhere else? Or are we comparing to the world where MIRI as an organization gets absorbed by some other entity? Or are we comparing to the world where MIRI still exists, the same employees still work there, but the mission is somehow changed to be the null mission?”

  There is no need to talk about it in terms of “the world where MIRI x” or “the world where MIRI y”. You can just say “if MIRI did this would it be better” or “if MIRI was like this would it be better”
