      Some dude who worked on the Roomba inadvertently presents a whole collection of terrible reasons to dismiss UFAI: http://www.rethinkrobotics.com/artificial-intelligence-tool-threat/ …

      @GrumplessGrinch Hey, that’s not some dude, that’s my thesis advisor! (who was also head of the MIT AI lab for a couple decades.)

      @GrumplessGrinch mmm… he seems pretty on-target to me. Do this stuff for a couple decades and you inderstand why it’s hard.

      @Meaningness He cites Armstrong and Sotala on difficulty of prediction as though it's a point for his side.

      @Meaningness Lots of talk about intentionality and volition as though those are meaningful concepts. Lots about robotics (not relevant).

      @Meaningness Doesn't address Bostrom, EY, Chalmers, Omohundro.. Takes Lenat seriously but doesn't mention (say) Schmidhuber.

      @GrumplessGrinch Those guys are clueless amateurs (in my opinion, and I assume his).

      @Meaningness I don't know how to respond to this. Describing NIck Bostrom as an amateur is not something I can really process.

          @Meaningness @GrumplessGrinch The second paragraph on his website at the moment links to something he coauthored on AI safety.

          @daniel_houck @GrumplessGrinch this is not ai; it’s meta to ai.

          @Meaningness You're calling an epidemiologist an amateur because he's never developed a vaccine.

          @GrumplessGrinch epidemiology gives no insight into how difficult it will be to make a vaccine for a particular disease.
