I would. However, I don't like the fact that the only thing we can
come up with are brute-force solutions. Isn't this what Eliezer
abandoned quite a while ago? I seem to remember that he wrote
somewhere that he used to think that you would need lots and lots of
researchers to reach human-level AI ~simply because he didn't know how
to do it~. We've only moved the horizon a bit. Now we're saying that
once we reach human-level AI, we use brute force to get to trans-human
AI. This worries me.
