I couldn’t click upvote hard enough. I’m always having this mental argument with hypothetical steelmanned opponents about stuff and AI Safety is sometimes one of the subjects. Now I’ve got a great piece of text to forward to these imaginary people I’m arguing with!
“pseudoscience” is a kind of word that is both too broad and loaded with too many negative connotations. It encompasses both (say) intelligent design with it’s desired results built-in and AI safety striving towards …something. The word doesn’t seem useful in determining which you should take seriously.
I feel like I’ve read a post before about distinguishing between insert-some-pseudoscience-poppycock-here, and a “pseudoscience” like AI safety. Or, someone should write that post!
