That's not what I'm saying at all and I've never heard an AI risk person say something like that.

I just read your blog post. It is attacking a weakman[1]. Kurzweil is not worried about AI risk, and his arguments about AI are rather sloppy. Again, most of the people worried about this aren't certain that it will happen. They just think it's plausible enough (say... a 1% chance) that it's worth studying more and reducing the likelihood of.

Studying? From all those years of studying, what has been learnt? I feel like this is deeply stagnant.
