Certainly, by many metrics LW can be considered wildly successful, and my comment wasn’t meant to be a criticism of Eliezer or SIAI. But if SIAI was intending to build an FAI using its own team of FAI researchers, then at least so far LW has failed to recruit them any such researchers. I’m trying to figure out if this was the expected outcome, and if not, how updating on it has changed SIAI’s plans. (Or to remind them to update in case they forgot to do so.)
