  1. Assessment: Can’t be checkedSaid

    “Don’t panic. Don’t dismiss.”

    What we tested: People should neither panic about nor dismiss the potential catastrophic threats from AGI argued in Yudkowsky and Soares’ book.

  2. Assessment: Can’t be checkedSaid

    “I think the truth is somewhere in between.”

    What we tested: Marcus thinks the truth about Yudkowsky and Soares' book on potential catastrophic AGI threats lies somewhere between Max Tegmark's view that it is 'the most important book of the decade' and the New York Times likening it to Scientology.
