I will be giving a talk
at the Generalist Engineer meetup on AI X-risk on May 17.
The goal is to explain these ideas to the top technical people on the Tel Aviv startup scene. (This meetup is pretty good at attracting such people.)
Around 2010-12, I gave lectures in Israel. I was introducing a weird idea at the fringe of ideaspace, with the goal of boosting social acceptability for the idea. Once social acceptability started to grow worldwide, I decided to discontinue that.
At this point, with more social proof and proof-by-authority, I think it's time to build support for ideas which are now almost mainstream.
Questions:
1. Is there a LessWrong meeting on May 17? If so, we might want to combine it with the Generalist Engineer, or move it to another date.
2. I'll be glad to get comments on my talk (as I develop it).
