> you're willfully misconstruing what I am saying and then calling me an idiot

No I am not, you put yourself in the group that makes x-risk sound ridiculous on purpose. If you do that yes. Can you make yourself a third person listening to someone saying: "important people said there is a chance everyone dies but I am laughing at them"? How psychopathic is this?

> If I believed you were operating in good faith

No, you are right. I have a back agenda, it's a dark one. It is about not everyone dying. Call me a backstabbing lying scam.

> why my life experience makes me suspicious of the personalities involved in pushing AI x-risk

Mistake no1: "pushing x-risk" makes no sense. Being afraid that we will die makes a lot of sense, humans are built this way. Some take action some laugh etc. Mistake no2: Hinton, Bengio, Ilya Sutsekever that is the guys that built the technology you spent thousands of hours researching as you said. If you are suspicious of these guys, just get out of this field, it's not for you clearly. That would be insane, a physicist being suspicious of Feynman or Bohr.
