The argument was that Eliezer Yudkowsky, to my knowledge, has not come up with anything unique. The ideas on which the SIAI is based and asks for donations are not new. Given the basic idea of superhuman AI and widespread awareness of it I thought it was not unreasonable to inquire about the state of activists trying to prevent it.

Are you trying to disprove an argument I made? I asked for an explanation and wasn't stating some insight about why the SIAI is wrong.

Is Robin Hanson donating most of his income to the SIAI?
