It would be lesswrongness.

Just to split where the gap is :

  1. lesswrongers think powerful AGI systems that can act on their own against humans will soon exist, and will be able to escape to the internet.
  2. I work in AI and think powerful general AI systems (not necessarily the same as AGI) will exist soon and be powerful, but if built well will be unable to act against humans, and unable to escape or do many of the things lesswrongers claim.
  3. You believe AGI of any flavor is a very long way away, beyond your remaining lifespan?

I think Timnit Gebru nailed it when she pointed out that we can't define Intelligence, which means we can't scope it, which means we can't build it.

The cult of IQ tests which rests on a foundation of science trying to prove that:

A) races are real and have real, heritable differences in intelligence

And

B) that a general intelligence, g, exists

Have done quite solid work proving that neither of those things are true, unintentionally, but still.
