Where was Terence Tao when Artists 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 I think his issue is something else entirely, it’s that AI won’t do math as people do it, it’s gonna spoil the endeavor of doing math. It’s that, even if solves theorems it really hasn’t done math. This is a pretty common issue I think, with how mathematicians think math is done.

@jojokompella I don't know man. Seems like a cope frankly.

But honestly my main point with this post is that most ppl simply won't go deep on AI until it punches them in the stomach.
