One more thing: Eliezer, I’m surprised to be on the opposite side as you here, because it’s your writings that convinced me a catastrophic singularity, even one from the small subset of catastrophic singularities that keep people alive, is so much more likely than a good singularity. If you tell me I’m misinterpreting you, and you assign high probability to the singularity going well, I’ll update my opinion (also, would the high probability be solely due to the SIAI, or do you think there’s a decent chance of things going well even if your own project fails?)
