Agreed on all points.

LW was one handshake away from DeepMind, we interviewed Shane Legg and referred to his work many times. But I guess we didn't have the right attitude, maybe still don't. Now is probably a good time to "halt, melt and catch fire" as Eliezer puts it.

I'm confused what you would have done with the benefit of hindsight (beyond having folks like Jaan Tallin and Elon Musk who were concerned with AI safety become investors in DeepMind, which was in fact done).
