I tend to agree. I think the main argument against is that some people at and around MIRI argue they’ve already (dis)solved it. I’d be interested to know to what extent people like Wei Dai, Stuart Armstrong, Paul Christiano agree. If you personally want collaborate on anthropics research, then there’s at least couple of people at FHI who may be interested. Feel free to send a DM!
I think they believe in Wei Dai’s UDT, or some variant of it, which is very close to Stuart’s anthropic decision theory, but you’d have to ask them which, if any, published or unpublished version they find most convincing.

See this comment by Vladimir Slepnev and my response to it, which explain why I don’t think UDT offers a full solution to anthropic reasoning.
Is the claimed dissolution by MIRI folks published somewhere?
