I meant to criticize moving too far toward “do no harm” policy in general due to inability to achieve a solution that would satisfy us if we had the choice. I agree specifically that if anyone knows of a bottleneck unnoticed by people like Bengio and LeCun, LW is not the right forum to discuss it.
Is there a place like that though? I may be vastly misinformed, but last time I checked MIRI gave the impression of aiming at very different directions (“bringing to safety” mindset) - though I admit that I didn’t watch it closely, and it may not be obvious from the outside what kind of work is done and not published.
[Edit: “moving toward ‘do no harm’”—“moving to” was a grammar mistake that make it contrary to position you stated above—sorry]
