I agree that this pointer to a worldview-difference is pretty high-level / general, and the post would be more valuable with a clearer list of some research disagreements or empirical disagreements. Perhaps I made a mistake to curate a relatively loose pointer. I think I assign at least 35% to “if we’re all still alive in 5 years and there’s a much stronger public understanding of Christiano’s perspective on the world, this post will in retrospect be a pretty good high-level pointer to where he differs from many others (slash a mistake he was making)”, but I still appreciate the datapoint that you (and Mark and Rohin) did not find it helpful nor agree with it, and it makes me think it more probable that I made a mistake.
