This forum is as close as there is to a FAI discussion group. SL4 is very much (brain-)dead at the moment. There aren’t even a lot of people who are known to be specifically attacking the FAI problem—one can name Yudkowsky, Herreshoff, maybe Rayhawk, others keep quiet. Drop me a mail, I may have some suggestions on what to study.

Whatever happened to Nick Hay, wasn’t he doing some kind of FAI related research?
He is at Berkeley working under Stuart Russell (of AI: A Modern Approach, among other things).
