I did say I think making wrong predictions can be dangerous, but i would have told you explicitly to stop if I thought yours was particularly dangerous (moreso just a bit ridiculous, if I’m being honest). I think you should see the value in keeping a record of what people say, without equating it to anti-science mobbing.
If I am to owe a debt to Society if I am wrong, will Society pay me if I am right?
Sure, you will be paid in respect and being taken seriously, because it wasn’t a bet like you said. That’s why I’m also not asking you to pay anything if you are wrong, you’re not one of the surprisingly many people asking for millions to work on this problem. I don’t expect them to pay anything either, but it would be nice. I’m not going to hold Nuremberg trials for AGI doomers or anything ridiculous like that.
