Well, yes. (I noted it as my approach, but I can’t see another one to approach it with.) Which is why throwing LW’s intellectual integrity under the trolley like this is itself remarkable.
Well, there’s integrity, and then there’s reputation, and they’re different.
For example, my own on-three-minutes-thought proposed approach is similar to Kaminsky’s, though less urgent. (As is, I think, appropriate… more people are working on hacking internet security than on, um, whatever endeavor it is that would lead one to independently discover dangerous ideas about AI. To put it mildly.)
I think that approach has integrity, but it won’t address the issues of reputation: adopting that approach for a threat that most people consider absurd won’t make me seem any less absurd to those people.
