Where was Terence Tao when Artists fell?
Where was Terence Tao when Writers fell?
Where was Terence Tao when Programmers fell?

Terence Tao was very pro-AI until recently.

Most even very smart ppl will not pay attention until AI punches them right in their own face.
Mathematician Terence Tao:

"we have to slow down AI. the pace is insane, and there's no reason to be this fast โ€” no reason at all"

It's amazing how willing we are to change everything without any idea what happens afterward

These are extremely nonlinear dynamics

@the_yanco Fuck this gatekeeper bullshit. If AI does something better and more efficient it should and will do it.

@BobbyPolzer You'll probably also only realize the problem once AI punches you personally into your face.

@the_yancoonly problem for society as a whole are people who think they are entitled to do a worse job. Just because you think you are an artist does not mean your are entitled to sell you art (well you are but not making a living and people buying it); you studied math doesn't mean you are entitled to get a job in your field.
