OP: >>So MIRI is interested in making a better list of possible concrete routes to AI taking over the world. And for this, we ask your assistance.
Louie: >>Katja doesn’t speak for all of MIRI when she says above what “MIRI is interested in”.
These two statements contradict each other. If it’s true that Katja doesn’t speak for all of MIRI on this issue, perhaps MIRI has a PR issue and needs to issue guidance on how representatives of the organization present public requests. When reading the parent post, I concluded that MIRI leadership was on-board with this scenario-gathering exercise.
EDIT: Just read your profile and I realize you actually represent a portion of MIRI leadership. Recommend that Katja edit the parent post to reflect MIRI’s actual position on this request.

Agreed. I am confused about what is going on here w.r.t. to what MIRI wants or believes.
