Sorry but I don't really see Yudkowski's contributions as "fundamental research into AI safety". More like navel-gazing without any practical implications. At best, listening to him is just a waste of time. At worse, AGI is a real imminent threat and having people like him generating useless noise like he does will make it harder for legitimate concerns to be heard, when the time comes.

Yes, I did and it's very bad form to go around asking people if they read the article. Try to remember that different people form different opinions from similar information.

Well, then you should have noticed what the article was about, which was not to detail a research program about AI safety. Different articles can address different aspects of a problem without being accused of advocating "random action". That's just ridiculous.
