Thanks to a very instructive exchange with @ESYudkowsky (see a retweet of it), I have gone from having my overall impression of the AI risk crowd being of a group of interesting but mislead oddballs to a dangerous group of monomaniacs who are as much of a threat as a benefit.

Lots of other ways to frame this, of course; it's a Nietzschean insight, it seems related to some postmodernist insights (though I'm less familiar with those.)

Of course in practice you are not talking to an arbitrary conceivable mind. You are talking to a human being, in fact a human who has many things in common with yourself, and you can justifiably say "C'mon, we share all the relevant values implicit in the statement I'm making."

I feel like your framing the issue this way is very relevantly not-value-free either. "It's going to rain tomorrow" can certainly be construed as non-value-free, but rarely usefully.

(Me saying "usefully" there is of course a value, but don't go one level higher just because you can.)
