I don't find these arguments against prioritizing work on AI alignment, safety, etc. very compelling. I'll take them one by one.

1. I don't think the case for AI risk relies strongly on longtermism. I also don't think AI risk is a distraction or low priority. Let's go! 🧵 2. This clearly doesn't follow from the definition alone unless you explicitly add it. (Constraint: never interact with the system and immediately destroy it.) Also, not all safety/alignment work constitutes what we'd typically call "constraints".
