There are many ways to then conclude that AGI is far away where far away means decades out. Not that decades out is all that far away. Eliezer conflating the two should freak you out. AGI reliably forty years away would be quite the fire alarm.
I don’t think I understand this point. Is the conflation “having a model of the long-term that builds on a short-term model” and “having any model of the long term”, in which case the conflation is akin to expecting climate scientists to predict the weather? If so I agree that that’s a slip up, but my alarm level isn’t raised to “freaked out” yet, what am I missing?

I think the conflation is “decades out” and “far away”.
