But I think “success” might actually be underdetermined here. Some philosophers may have had the right insights, but I suspect that if they had communicated those insights in the formal method necessary for Friendly AI the insights would have felt insightful to readers and the papers would have gotten attention. Of course, I’m not even familiar with cutting edge metaethics. There may well be something like that out there. It doesn’t help that no one here seems willing to actually read philosophy in non-blog format.
