I believe it's called prioritising. We also have no idea where we are on the timelines to killer viral strains and alien invasions.
-
I'm pretty worried about viruses. Reason I'm not worried about aliens is I *do* believe there's argument (priors) they won't come tomorrow.

The Serial Killer Fallacy. We have no idea where in the house he is, so we should stop worrying and go shag in the attic.

Would it have made sense to worry about killer AI in 1810? If not, what changed (besides hindsight)?

Don't try to make "disagreeing with you" a fallacy. It will undermine anything else you've said about fallacies.
-
The fallacy in question is “ignorant therefore safe”, not “disagreeing with EY”.
-
Ah. I see how it could be read as "ignorant therefore safe", but I read it as arguing against using present AI as evidence for AGI doom.

Wow, how long did it take MP3 files to decimate the old music industry. They couldn't see the problem either.

Isn't it simply an argument from ignorance? It moves from "We don't know when" to "therefore, a long time from now".

Vicarious planning fallacy?... Commentators thinking killer-AI designers are about to complete their evil--or accidental--creations.

Why call it a fallacy when it's going to be an empirical issue not necessarily a logical error?

If there was an asteroid within 100 years from earth I would sure take comfort in arrogantly proclaiming I had no idea how close it was
