this seems like a great time to bring back AI disagreements by Brian Merchant where a rationalist AI convention spends more time arguing about AI takeover scenarios then they do discussing plans to actually stop AI and implement anti-AI policies

Yeah that was a good article. I think that is one of the fundamental issues with rationalists, they are basically a group formed around neat sci-fi ideas and not actually getting anything done, and their strong libertarian biases prevent them from actually pursuing the strategies that would be most effective for many of their nominal goals.
