I’m grappling with this exact issue. I think AI is the most important technology humanity will event, but I’m skeptical of the EV of much work on the technology. Still it seems that it should be the only reasonable thing to spend all my time thinking about, but even then I’m not sure I’d arrive at anything useful.
And the opportunity cost is saving hundreds of lives. I don’t think there is any other question that has cost me as much sleep as this one.
