But I’m not really accusing y’all of saying “try to produce a future that has no basis in human values.” I am accusing this post of saying “there’s some neutral procedure for figuring out human values, we should use that rather than a non-neutral procedure.”
My read was more “do the best we can to get through the acute risk period in a way that lets humanity have the time and power to do the best it can at defining/creating a future full of value.” And that’s in response and opposed to positions like “figure out / decide what is best for humanity (or a procedure that can generate the answer to that) and use that to shape the long term future.”
