Eliezer is still ridiculously optimistic about AI risk - LessWrong

They actually take his arguments seriously. If I wanted to blow my life savings on some wretched crypto scam I'd certainly listen to these guys about what the best scam to fall for was. This is what it looks like when the great hero of humanity, who has always been remarkably genre-savvy, realises that the movie he's in is'Lovecraft-style Existential Cosmic Horror', rather than'Rationalist Harry Potter Fanfic'. All power to Eliezer for having had a go. What sort of fool gives up before he's actually lost?
