We desperately need to stop dichotomizing. AI poses serious risks BOTH short-term AND long-term. You don't need to think superintelligence is remotely imminent to be deeply worried.How Geoffr Hinton, Elon Musk and I wound up sharing some concerns.https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/ai-risk-agi-risk?sd=pf

The 6 month ban is letter is not perfect, but a lot of the criticism misses the point. As a signatory and the person who broke the story on twitter and then endured endless attacks, my thoughts are here: https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/the-open-letter-controversy

Opportunity Lost. The 6 month ban letter was flawed; so was the community’s reaction.Why there is more to life than The Letter, what we should learn from the experience, and what we need to do to carry on.garymarcus.substack.com/p/i-am-not-afraid-of-robots-i-am-afraid?utm_source=twitter&sd=pf

@timnitGebru honest suggestion, stop spending so much of your energy fighting them, focus more on your own, vital agenda: how can we make make sure that AI doesn’t harm underrepresented people?

Prediction: Musk & Trump’s honeymoon won’t last forever; within a year or two, the two will have a falling out. Two egos that large can’t cooperate indefinitely.Musk may then either use Vance to push out Trump with 25th, (if Trump’s apparent dementia markedly advances), or start a 3rd party.
