Huh, thanks for the info, I’m surprised to hear that.
I myself had heard that rumour, saying that at the second FLI conference Dario had spoken a lot about short timelines and now everyone including MIRI was scared. IIRC I heard it from some people involved in ML who were in attendance of that conference, but I didn’t hear it from anyone at MIRI. I never heard much disconfirmatory evidence, and it’s certainly been a sort-of-belief that’s bounced around my head for the past two or so years.
