OK, I don’t want to get off-topic. EY doesn’t practice the Dark Arts (at least, I hope not).
A lot of what EY writes makes sense to me. And I’d like to believe that we’ll be sipping champagne on the other side of the galaxy when the last star in the Milky Way burns out (and note that I’m not saying that he’s predicting that will happen). But I’m not a physicist or AI researcher—I want some way to know how much to trust what he writes. Is anything that he’s said or done falsifiable? Has he ever publicly made his beliefs pay rent? I want to believe in a friendly AI future… but I’m not going to believe for the sake of believing.
