The first, well, anyone raising a concern is going to have that.
Numbers 2 and 3 (religious problem-solving, seekership) are right out.
Number 4 (turning point), okay.
Number 5 (formation of affective bonds)... I dunno, maaybe? I mean, you can't really blame a group for people liking it. I think this was meant way more strongly than we have here.
Number 6 Neutralization of external attachments? Absolutely not.
You didn't name the seventh, unless it's the deprivation, which again... no.
So, arguably 3 out of seven, of which 2 are so common as to be kind of silly, and one of those was a major stretch. Whee.
Why does SI/LW focus so much on AI-FOOM disaster, with apparently much less concern for things like
Why, for example, is lukeprog's strategy sequence titled "AI Risk and Opportunity", instead of "The Singularity, Risks and Opportunities"? Doesn't it seem strange to assume that both the risks and opportunities must be AI related, before the analysis even begins? Given our current state of knowledge, I don't see how we can make such conclusions with any confidence even after a thorough analysis.
SI/LW sometimes gives the impression of being a doomsday cult, and it would help if we didn't concentrate so much on a particular doomsday scenario. (Are there any doomsday cults that say "doom is probably coming, we're not sure how but here are some likely possibilities"?)
