I'm asking for references because I don't have them. it's a shame that the people who are able, ability-wise, to explain the flaws in the MIRI/FHI approach, actual AI researchers, aren't able, time-wise, to do so. It leads to MIRI's views dominating in a way that they should not. It's anomalous that a bunch of amateurs should become the de facto experts in a field, just because they have funding , publicity, and spare time.
