   It's right sized to what purpose? I was mostly pointing out the trade off between doing "direct" research on AI safety and actually speeding up the whole field significantly leaving us with less time (while trying to have bet

   Indeed. And I'm sure this is the main point in selling the importance of funding AI safety when talking to governments. Another of the main concerns before the singularity is the possible social breakdown due to massive unemployment an

   Sure, it's in the name itself (open), but what's the rush then? In AI safety, the time left to solve the problem is a crucial factor. Of course it can be measured in man-years instead of years. Still, what's the big rush, or

   This story makes it crystal clear how much openAI is accelerating research, for now mostly on reinforcement learning. I'm sure this is talked about over and over again, but could someone please lead us through the AI safety rationale b
