None of your survey choices seemed to fit me. I am concerned about and somewhat interested in AI risks. However, I currently would like to see more effort put into cryonics and reversing aging.
To be clear, I don't want to reduce the effort/resources currently put into AI risks. I just think they they are over weighted relative to cryonics and age reversal and would like to see any additional resource go to those until a better balance is achieved.
For the same reasons quantum physicists don't ask the public which experiments they should run next.
But a quantum research institute that is funded via donations might ask the public which of the many experiments they want to run might attract funding. They can hire more researchers and answer more questions. Build good will etc.
After some conversations here I thought I would try and find out what the community of people who care about AI risk think are the priorities for research.
To represent peoples opinions fairly I wanted to get input from people who care about the future of intelligence. Also I figure that other people will have more experience designing and analyzing surveys than me and getting their help or advice would be a good plan.
Planning document
Here is the planning document, give me a shout if you want edit rights. I'll be filling in the areas for research over the next week or so.
I'll set up a trello if I get a few people interested.
