Excellent news. Considered together with the announcement of AI scientists endorsing a statement in favour of researching how to make AI beneficial, this is the best weeks for AI safety that i can remember.
Taken together with the publication of Superintelligence, founding of FLI and CSER, and teansition of SI into a research organisation MIRI, it's becoming clearer that the last few years have started to usher in a new chapter in AI safety.
I know that machine learning capabilities are also increasing but let's celebrate successes like these!
If you'd asked me two years ago I would have put today's situation in the most optimistic 10% of outcomes. It's nice to be wrong in that direction :)
Damn. Good point. Woo!
