Very impressed by the sanity level of Nilsson's response. He's a very respected name in the area, and this is a pretty warm endorsement for SIAI's project, despite placing it below global warming and giving 0.01% probability of extinction event due to AGI. Some people would call 0.01% a small risk (particularly AGI researchers) and move right along.
Curious what Minsky has to say - I assume you're going after him at some point?
I am not sure "sanity level" is the phrase I would use here, since the difference seems to be "Nilsson agrees with SIAI" rather than "Nilsson isn't crazy."
He was the first person I wrote. He never replied.
