For the record, parts of that ratanon post seem extremely inaccurate to me; for example, the claim that MIRI people are deferring to Dario Amodei on timelines is not even remotely reasonable. So I wouldn’t take it that seriously.
Agreed I wouldn’t take the ratanon post too seriously. For another example, I know from living with Dario that his motives do not resemble those ascribed to him in that post.
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.

I don’t know Dario well, but I know enough to be able to tell that the anon here doesn’t know what they’re talking about re Dario.
