Even if he was proven 99% right but humanity somehow survived a violent onslaught from a hostile AGI, I don't think this would be sufficient to make him win the award. In such a situation, some heroic soldier or President or someone like that would probably be nominated, even if they had previously disparaged the threat or Yudkowsky, publicly or privately. That's just the way humanity - and America - works, sadly.

Ok guys, just to clarify.

I want that Eliezer Yudkowsky to be personally chosen, OK? 2006 wouldn't count. The rationalist community wouldn't count. The anti-AI guerrilla wouldn't count.

If he's choosen alongside other people, this would count.

pretty sure he already won in 2006

@Tripping just to clarify, 2006 wouldn't count
