"There are great places to discuss AI safety out there"

Like where?

I’m guessing he’s probably talking about LessWrong, which nowadays also hosts a ton of serious safety research (and is often dismissed offhandedly because of its reputation as an insular internet community).

Yes, LessWrong and the Alignment Forum have a lot of excellent writing and a great community. It may not be to everyone's taste, however.

For people that have demonstrated various levels of commitment, such as post-graduate study and/or continuing education, there are various forums available.

I'm also interested to see what other people have found.

Tell me where you’ve looked, and I will comment and reply.

Wow how secretive, very cool, I wanna be part of your secret club

At the same time, when I see this kind of sarcasm, I also wonder: where is the sarcasm coming from? How can we make this discussion productive?

If you start with the resources I suggested, I think you will find useful material.
