I'm finding these dialogues worthwhile for (so far) lowering my respect for "mainstream" AI researchers.

Think about how ridiculous your comment must sound to them. Some of those people have been researching AI for decades, wrote hundreds of papers that have been cited many thousands of times.

That you just assume that they must be stupid because they disagree with you seems incredible arrogant. They have probably thought about everything you know long before you and dismissed it.

They have probably thought about everything you know long before you and dismissed it.

And yet they demonstrate that they have not, by not engaging the core arguments made by SI/FHI when they talk about it.
