Okay, I take that back. I did know about the connection between SIAI and FHI and Oxford.
What are these academic papers published in? A lot of them don't provide that information; one is in Global Catastrophic Risks.
At any rate, I exaggerated in saying there isn't any engagement with the academic mainstream. But it looks like it's not very much. And I recall a post of Eliezer's that said, roughly, "It's not that academia has rejected my ideas, it's that I haven't done the work of trying to get academia's attention." Well, why not?
If you want it done, feel free to do it yourself. :)
