I think "simply crazy" is overstating it, but it's striking he makes the same mistake that Wright and other critics make: SIAI's work is focussed on AI risks, while the critics focus on AI benefits. This I assume is because rather than addressing what SIAI actually say, they're addressing their somewhat religion-like picture of it.
I got the sense that he is very pessimistic about the chance of controlling things if they do go FOOM. If he is that pessimistic and also believes that the advance of AI will be virtually impossible to stop, then forgetting about will be as purposeful as worrying about it.
I think this is an accurate picture of Stross' point.
Well, I also try to focus on AI benefits. The critics fail because of broken models, not because of the choice of claims they try to address.
