Ours is the era of inadequate AI alignment theory. Any other facts about this era are relatively unimportant, but sometimes I tweet about them anyway.

      I've found it's practically impossible to convey what I think about AGI and AGI alignment because it doesn't correspond to a mood about AI.

      The mood I'm reading from you is... sci-fi nerd dread. :-)

      That's sad. No credit for failing to dread anything else, like technological unemployment? No credit for focusing effort into research?

      And in case it's not obvious, what a failure to communicate looks like here is that people make up a mood and hear the made-up mood instead.

      Other people in the "AI safety" space seem quite eager to dread running out the lump of labor. Genuinely sad you see no difference.

      What exactly should I look like if I have info leading me to one specific narrow worry? People who enjoy nerd dread find lots of fun fears.

      They find it fun to fear machine-learning opinion control helping to build a corporate dystopia, or terrorists hacking robotic car swarms.

          They find it fun to castigate AI programmers as reckless mad scientists or to exaggerate the current and 2-year-out capabilities of AI.

          But no matter how narrow your endorsement, any element that could be from the mood "sci-fi nerd dread" and people just hear that big mood.

          Don't feel bad. Moods usually aren't that specific - and there's a lot more to Eliezer and his thought than his mood!

          How does the mood you read from Eliezer differ from the mood he'd have if he'd genuinely discovered a serious problem?

          A lot more, "I understand why almost everyone thinks my concerns are crazy. But..."

          I think you're imagining how you'd feel if you were suddenly convinced now, not what you'd think if you've been doing this for years.

          That's a survey of AI experts, not random humans.
