I think you and Vaniver both misunderstood my endorsement of FLI. I endorse them not because of their views on AI risk, which are in line MIRI's and entirely misguided in my opinion. But the important question is not what you believe, but what you do about it. Despite those views they are still willing to fund practical, evidence-based research into artificial intelligence, engaging with the existing community rather than needlessly trying to reinvent the field.
