Wei Dai, I noticed on the MIRI website that you’re slotted to appear at some future MIRI workshop. I find this a little bit strange—given your reservations, aren’t you worried about throwing fuel on the fire?
I don’t see why that would be strange. Maybe Wei Dai thinks he can improve the way MIRI handles their FAI endgame from the inside, or that helping MIRI make progress on decision theory will not make MIRI more likely to screw up and develop UFAI, or both.
