“ I have worked on AI for the last twelve years because I believe it could dramatically raise the quality of human life” there you go. What if an utter idiot had done and said that? First, is it impossible to believe an idiot who didn’t need to work to live might do such a thing? If not, is it impossible to believe they would wind up here, barfing their externalities onto us?

“ believe that AI could cure most major diseases in the next 5–10 years,”

I do not have the least bit of idea how disease works but I am sure the hammer I am working on will nail it all.

If your famously atemporal agents can solve disease, why would it happen over a timeline? Wouldn’t they just figure it out and then … well at that point either tell us or, given the attacks on ruby gems, et al we have seen from agents with “misconfigured” goals, they’d still tell us how to cure the pox they invented, right?
