Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t it the case that you wish to decelerate AI research ? In this case, you are in fact making a destructive contribution—from the point of view of someone like Wang, who is interested in AI research. I see nothing odd about that.
It sounds as though you mean decelerating the bits that he is interested in and accelerating the bits that the SI is interested in. Rather as though the SI is after a bigger slice of the pie.
If you slow down capability research, then someone else is likely to become capable before you—in which case, your “goal management research” may not be so useful. How confident are you that this is a good idea?

To decelerate AI capability research and accelerate AI goal management research. An emphasis shift, not a decrease. An increase would be in order.
