Well, but I'm not sure MIRI can be said to have "made a good case" that its own work is well-connected to astronomical benefits, either.

False modesty. The 'good case' already made for FAI being (optimally) related to astronomical benefits and the 'good case' already made for malaria reduction being (optimally) related to astronomical benefits are not of the same order of magnitude of already madeness.

I don't think that MIRI has made a case for the particular FAI research that it's doing having non-negligible relevance to AI safety. See my "Chinese Economy" comments here.

Ah, I'd heard a rumor you'd updated away from that, guess that was mistaken. I've replied to that comment.
