Oops. I've tried to clarify that he's only interested in FAI research, not AI research on the whole.
There's no such thing, any more than there is research into alien flying saucers with nanolasers of doom. There's a lot of fiction and armchair speculation, but that's not research.
Any reason he's not trying to fix his phobia by conventional means?
What I mean is that he'd be interested in working for MIRI, but not, say, OpenAI, or even a startup where he'd be doing lots of deep learning, if he overcomes his phobia.
It might be that his interest in FAI is tied to his phobia so if the phobia goes away, so may the interest...
