Hello. As you know Jon, I have never used yours (or anyone else's) substack to direct readers to my eccentric little newsletter. But there's always a first time. About the AI existential risk and moratoriums etc. I think we have all been coming at it from the wrong direction, including the doomers. There's a profound ethical dimension to it that has not been discussed. I go over it in my last three posts in my substack if anyone wants to wander over there and read them (they're fairly short)

Our greatest existential risk from developing AIs is not from our creations, but to ourselves as would-be ethical beings... We're on the verge of a a huge mistake.

I may be wrong, but we must stop worrying so much about aligning AI with our values, and start worrying about aligning ourselves with our own ethics.
