But is your idea of AI safety "safety of imaginary unborn people 1000 years after, while harm to living people dont matter much"?

Because that is their AI safety worry. If they dont create singularity fast enough, they are harming unborn people. Meanwhile, harm to you or me dont matter at all.

I see. No, my safety worry is that my 3-year-old daughter won't see her 23rd birthday because the AI that gets put in charge of running big conglomerates decides that killing off the human race with a coordinated release of a million tonnes of nerve gas is a sensible way to boost share prices the following quarter.

I'd be happy if we all create the AI more slowly.

That said, are you sure you're talking about the same people the GGP was talking about? Because the whole thread reads as a non-sequitur then.
