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 — 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 If my understanding is correct, you’re anti-AI because you think it could cause human extinction
Artist, writer, and programmer are anti-AI because they could no longer be paid for what they do

@LLMnonymous Well the most pressing issue is human extinction given that AI companies claim to have started RSI
But beyond that loss of jobs (not just artists!) is probably the second most important issue, it just won't fully materialize if the current trajectory of AI Dev holds.

@the_yanco I think claims of human extinction are nonsense, however it would be irrational to assume it's impossible
But for loss of jobs, shouldn't you be advocating for UBI or other measure? Why do you wish for human to do work they don't want just so they can get paid
