The New Yorker just realized a feature article on AI Safety, rationalism, and effective altruism, and… it’s surprisingly good? It seems honest, balanced, and even funny. It doesn’t take a position about AI Safety, but IMO it paints it in a good way.
Paul Crowley (mentioned in the article) did have some criticism, and put up a response in a post. Most of his concerns seem to be with how the article takes a focus on the people interviewed, rather than the ideas being discussed.
