Hey P. Assuming Demis Hassabis reads your email and takes it seriously, why won’t his reaction be “I already have my alignment team, Shane Legg took care of that” ?
Deepmind has had an alignment team for a long time.
Well, if he has, unbeknownst to me, already hired the “Terence Taos of the world” like he said on the podcast, that would be great, and I would move on to other tasks. But if he only has a regular alignment team, I don’t think either of us considers that to be enough. I’m just trying to convince him that it’s urgent and we can’t leave it for later.
