Hi

hi Zechen and Nikola

Where is the Q&A form?

In the Q&A button below

can someone enable captions if possible?

@tamay built into Zo down the bottom, across from the chat

Got it, thanks.

Do you guys think slave-owning societies had similar conversations about the risks of slave labor and large slave populations

what is your email address for follow up?

can you stop sharing your screen?

very interesting question about societies where slavery was a huge part of realitythe comparison of conversations is interesting to consider; though of course AI would be categorically different in composition and potential scale

Wouldn't a sufficiently smart AI hide any purchase it made of cryptocurrencies

What proportion of CS professors & industry leaders working on AI itself believe this is the most dangerous issue facing us? It feels like it’s an issue that’s more hyped by outside groups looking in, than the internal groups themselves, but this is probably just based on bubbles of who I talk with vs who others talk with etc

Wouldn't a sufficiently smart AI hide the fact that it had stolen cryptocurrencies? (That's what I meant to type in my last comment...)

I like Robert Miles' Intro to AI Safety YouTube video, in addition to Kelsey Piper's "The threat for taking AI seriously as a threat to humanity"

The Kelsey Piper article: https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2018/12/21/18126576/ai-artificial-intelligence-machine-learning-safety-alignment

Jerome: You can find Joseph's email address here: https://www.josephcarlsmith.com/

Here’s the Twitter thread I referenced. Robert Miles was referenced a lot and Kelsey Piper’s article was also referenced at least once https://twitter.com/sam_atis/status/1501352718933192711?s=20&t=0bJjWfpIETl1iNVBRo9sUw

Not prior. Credence on all conjuncts being right. He said >15%. But what is it?

Epistemic status maybe?

hi Kaivu

AI safety is a problem to be solved by human institutions. The future leader of the global committee on AI Safety is probably listening in on this meeting!

clap clap clap

Thanks!

tysm!

thank you!

Feedback: the audio from the speaker was great, but the audio from the room was painful to listen to
