I am absolutely using "not accredited" in a pejorative sense here. That he publishes papers coauthored by a couple of philosophy professors at Oxford (all of whom have made a ton of money from the Silicon Valley AI Alignment and Effective Altruism crowds) does not make him a scientist.

I will also note that the Oxford Philosophy department finally shitcanned the whole Future of Humanity Institute a couple of years back.
