I'm kind of curious how do you explain why people with more proven expertise and accomplishment in relevant areas don't seem to be offering any ai risk reduction for anyone to buy yet. Quack remedies always came before cures, through the history.
This kind of question - and how much more fun people seem to have when arguing about this kind of question - would just be a distraction from the intent of the document. It is best to save the apologetics for elsewhere and give the plain information here.
Well, it's not so much of a question as of an answer to 'what to think about this specific offering of a cure'. People whom can generate that sort of question - sceptical minded people - won't donate anyway.
Hello LessWrong,
As one of my assignments at the Singularity Institute (SI), I am writing a research FAQ answering the most frequently asked questions regarding the Singularity Institute's research program.
For a short summary of what SI is about, see our concise summary.
Here are some examples of questions I'm currently planning to include:
1) who conducts research at SI?
2) what are the specific research topics being investigated?
3) what is the history of SI's research program?
4) where does SI see its research program in 5, 10, and 20 years?
5) what other organizations conduct research similar to SI?
Please submit other questions that come to mind below. Unfortunately, due to limited time, we cannot answer every question posed to us. However, I hope to answer some of the questions that receive the most upvotes. Thank you for your participation!
