Eliezer Yudkowsky is a prominent transhumanist that I disagree with pretty much every single opinion he has ever espoused, yes somehow we are both still transhumanists. His views on, and response to, Roko's Basilisk in particular are fucking embarrassing.
So I'm gonna go with Altman.
In the end, in won't matter either way. Either Altman is right, and we will get a benevolent AI, or Yudkowsky is right, and we're capital-F Fucked.
Either way, AI is coming. All we can do is wait and see.
