Reply to comment by SchmidhuberDidIt in [D] To the ML researchers and practitioners here, do you worry about AI safety/alignment of the type Eliezer Yudkowsky describes? by SchmidhuberDidIt
Both of them are more positive than EY, but both are still quite worried about AI risk. It's just that they don't see doom as inevitable. This is the sort of scenario Christiano worries about: https://www.alignmentforum.org/posts/HBxe6wdjxK239zajf/what-failure-looks-like

What specific psychedelics/routine have you found most helpful for those, just out of curiosity? I've used LSD since it was available, but I'm not sure it's quite as good as the alternatives.
