I agree with HK that SIAI is not one of the best charities currently out there. I also agree with him that UFAI is a threat, and getting FAI is very difficult. I do not agree with HK's views on "tools" as opposed to "agents", primarily because I do not understand them fully. However I am fairly confident that if I did understand them I would disagree. I currently send all my charitable donations to AMF, but am open to starting to support SIAI when I see them publish more (peer-reviewed) material.

I believe SIAI believes it needs to present its arguments better because 1) many SIAI critics say things that indicate misunderstandings or miscommunication and 2) Lukeprog has not written up descriptions of all his relevant beliefs.
