On “Thoughts on OpenAI, reinforcement learning, and killer robots”

> It is hard for me to empathize with Musk’s fixation on evil super-intelligent AGI killer robots in a very distant future. This reminded me of a talk by Andrew Ng I watched recently 1: "Worrying about evil AI robots today is a little bit like worrying about overpopulation on the planet Mars ... how do you not care ... and my answer is we haven't landed on the planet yet so I don't know how to work productively on that problem...of course, doing research on anti-evil AI is a positive thing but I do see that there is a massive misallocation of resources." Nice talk all around if you can find the time. 1 link to this video

…s all that surrounding context that so it makes him look like an AI crackpot instead of an AI realist. (E.g. The top tweet reply from Pedro Domingos seems to be based on the limitations of current AI but Andrew Ng was trying to convey the idea to PMs of what new AI to build.) 0 deep link at 12m20s for context and 14m05s is the "1 sec heuristic": link to this video…
