Strongly agreed here. My view is that ai takeover is effectively just the scaled up version of present-day ai best practice concerns, and the teams doing good work on either end up helping both. Both “sides of the debate” have critical things to say about each other, but in my view, that’s simply good scientific arguing.
I’d love to hear more on your thoughts on most effective actions for shorttermist ai safety and ai bias, if you were up for writing a post! I’d especially like to hear your thoughts on how cutting edge psychology emergency-deescalation-tactics research on stuff like how to re-knit connections between humans who’ve lost trust for political-fighting reasons can relate to ai safety; that example might not be your favorite focus, though it’s something I worry about a lot myself and have thoughts about. Or perhaps if you’ve encountered the socio-environmental synthesis center’s work on interdisciplinary team science (see also their youtube channel), I’m curious if you have thoughts about that. or, well, more accurately, I give those examples as prompt so you can see what kind of thing I’m thinking about writing about and generalize it into giving similar references or shallow dives into research that you’re familiar with and I’m not.
So I didn’t know this was a niche philosophy forum, with its own subculture. I’m way out of my element.
My suggestions were not very relevant taking that into context, I thought it was a general forum. I’m still glad there are people thinking about it.
The links you sent are awesome! - I’ll follow those researchers.
I think a lot of my thoughts here are outdated as things keep changing, and I’m still putting thoughts together. So, I probably won’t be writing much for a few months until my brain settles down a little.
Am I “shorttermism”? Long term, as in fate of humanity, I think I am not good to debate there
imo, shorttermism = 1 year, longtermism = 10 years. ai is already changing very rapidly. as far as I’m concerned your posts are welcome; don’t waste time worrying about being out of your element, just tell it as you see it and let’s debate—this forum is far too skeptical of people with your background and you should be more self-assured that you have something to contribute.

Thanks for commenting on my weird intro!
