You seem to agree that if at some point in the next few decades AI will be something we need to worry about, so I'm trying to figure out exactly what it is you oppose.

Would you have opposed research into renewable energy in the 1970s since global warming was still a few decades away from being something we needed to worry about?

If you think this than you have misunderstood me. Now go elsewhere and bother other people.

I'm not trying to bother you. I'm genuinely curious about what makes people oppose AI safety research.

What makes you sure it's not going to be a problem?

Your intent is irrelevant.

Why are you bothered by a simple line of follow up questions about a belief you expressed publicly?
