But MIRI wants to build an FAI. What their plan is, if they think they can build one, seems relevant. Or what they would do if they think they, or someone else, is going to build an AGI.
They published the dialogues and have written far more on the subject of how one might do so if one was inclined than any of the major institutions actually-building-AGI. I’m merely stating the fact that, as a very small group not actively attempting to build a FAI, it makes sense that they don’t have a plan in the same sense.
I know Eliezer and Nate have written a bunch of stuff on this topic. But they’re not the whole of MIRI. Are e.g. Scott, or Abram, or Evan on board with this? In fact, my initial comment was going to be “I know Eliezer and Nate have written about parts of their plans before, but what about MIRI’s plan? Has everyone in the org reached a consensus about what to do?” For some reason I didn’t ask that. Not sure why.
EDIT: Ah, I forgot that Nate was MIRI’s executive. Presumably, his publically comments on building an AGI are what MIRI would endorse.
MIRI isn’t developing an AGI.

Of course, Eliezer also wrote this.
