I've noticed lots of the EA criticisms I've read are either:
- Uncharitable
- A post on EA forum, made by an EA-adjacent person
I want to find things that aren't this; criticisms of EA made by people who aren't part of the "EA community" that seem more reasonable. Are there any good people/articles to look into?
An example of the kind of thing I'm looking for is: https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10156248637927143&id=722677142. LeCun seems pretty unconvinced of AI Safety, and his criticisms seem pretty reasonable and not uncharitable.
Although a little old (2015), this lead essay by Peter Singer in the Boston Review has a set of 11 response essays from notable academics and writers, who differ in both disciplinary background and degree of support for EA.
I think there's probably better and more recent critiques, but it's a good spread to start with.
No worries! There's also this, very recently:
