Following up on a post I made last month, I’ve put up A Non-Technical Introduction to AI Risk, collecting the most engaging and accessible very short introductions to the dangers of intelligence explosion I’ve seen. I’ve written up a few new paragraphs to better situate the links, and removed meta information that might make it unsuitable for distribution outside LW. Suggestions for further improvements are welcome!
That is a good, readable summary of the main issues. A minor suggestion which is purely aesthetic is that the underlined red hyper-links look like misspellings at first glance.
Thanks! Unfortunately, I’m not sure how to get rid of those without upgrading my Wordpress or switching themes. The links are an ugly orange by default, and changing them to blue apparently leaves the underline orange.
For what it’s worth, the outer elements have a CSS “color” attribute of (255, 114, 0) (orange), while the inner elements have a CSS color of (0, 0, 128) (blue). The former color attribute is set in a CSS file; the latter color attribute is set in the HTML itself.
