Unfortunately, unless such a Yudkowskian statement was made publicly at some earlier date, Yudkowsky is in fact following in Repetto’s footsteps. Repetto claimed that, with AI designing cures to obesity and the like, then in the next 5 years the popular demand for access to those cures would beat-down the doors of the FDA and force rapid change… and Repetto said that on April 27th, while Yudkowsky only wrote his version on Twitter on September 15th.
I’d consider this a restatement of the standard Yudkowskian position. https://twitter.com/ESYudkowsky/status/1438198184954580994
