I'd say I'm not really either, exactly, but do tend away from the 'slow 
down' side, because not only is it counterproductive, it's not even 
possible. But it doesn't really matter, nothing anyone can actually do 
in practice will have an effect. We are racing into the future, faster 
and faster. That's the nature of exponential progress. Personally, I 
welcome it, but as I've said before, for me, the important thing is that 
intelligence survives and grows. Humans surviving would be very nice, 
but is still secondary, so the 'existential risk' aspect is not so 
important, philosophically speaking. As long as intelligent awareness of 
some sort gets through the coming bottleneck, I'll count that as a win. 
Humans in general getting through it would be a bonus. Me personally 
getting through it comes a distant third. Still desirable, obviously, 
but not so important.

I think the ai-2027 attempt at prediction is just as wrong as any other. 
What will happen will probably surprise us all, regardless of what 
anyone currently thinks.
