Instead of listing names of people in the field that I personally wouldn’t say meet my idea of what genius is, I think it’s important to point out that I see and read incredibly intelligent and productive research much of the time. I’m sure others would disagree with me based on what they see as genius. I also think making this judgement is unfair, because of the reasons I listed above pertaining to the subjectivity, bias involved, and unclear metrics of judging genius. Similar to what occurs in scientific research, I see incremental discoveries and ideas in today’s research as incredibly valuable. Many current theories in ai safety may also be wrong, but this doesn’t make them useless. So while I could give examples, it boils down to my subjective take and I am arguing against this in this field because it doesn’t matter.
