I know he’s talking about alignment, and I’m criticizing that extremely strong claim. This is the main thing I wanted to criticize in my comment! I think the reasoning he presents is not much supported by his publicly available arguments.
Ok, I don’t disagree with this. I certainly didn’t develop a gears-level understanding of why [building a brain-like thing with gradient descent on giant matrices] is doomed after reading the 2021 conversations. But that doesn’t seem very informative either way; I didn’t spend that much time trying to grok his arguments.
