Not lamentable. I am proud to be a Research
Associate with MIRI, which has been making
a lot of outreach to the mainstream AI and
CS community. This outreach is important.
Maybe. One of the things I didn't like about
them was their negative advertising. In England,
negative advertising is a faux pas - something you
don't do in public. Having moved to America, I
notice that negative advertising is considered
fair play here - and practically everyone does it.
That still doesn't make me like it, though.
These days, I notice that MIRI faces some negative
publicity/F.U.D. of its own - e.g.: http://miricult.com/
A taste of their own medicine, perhaps. Or maybe
the race to machine intelligence is starting to heat
up - and people are already starting to play dirty.
Here's my 'MIRI position statement' - where I explain my
percieved problem with them: http://timtyler.org/on_miri/
