Debunking the 'AGI Safety Research Strawman': GDM's Interdisciplinary Efforts
Dr_Atoosa · x · 2026-07-06
In response to an attempt to reduce the ethics and safety research of AGI labs into a simple table, the author pushes back, labeling it a "strawman" argument. The author points out that institutions like Google DeepMind have been employing philosophers for over a decade and have published extensively on interdisciplinary topics covering AGI risks, safety, and consciousness, urging the original party to read these studies before adding further citations.
