A clarification. In Thoughts on the Singularity Institute, Holden wrote:

I will commit to is reading and carefully considering up to 50,000 words of content that are (a) specifically marked as SI-authorized responses to the points I have raised; (b) explicitly cleared for release to the general public as SI-authorized communications. In order to consider a response "SI-authorized and cleared for release," I will accept explicit communication from SI's Executive Director or from a majority of its Board of Directors endorsing the content in question.

As SI's Executive Director I am hereby marking three different things as "SI-authorized responses" to the points Holden raised: my "Reply to Holden on the Singularity Institute" (the post above), my long comment on recent organizational improvements at SI, and Eliezer's Reply to Holden on Tool AI.

According to Word Count Tool, these three things add up to a mere 13,940 words.

Consider removing the first sentence of the final link:

This comment is not intended to be part of the 50,000-word response which Holden invited.

Good point. :)

Fixed.
