> disappointed

One of the most extreme understatement in history.


It means that not all risks justify stall.

Of course not. Even the developers of AI admit there's a huge risk though, no? Even they are calling for a slowdown. Do you think you know more than they do?

I know well enough; I'd be surprised if they know more than I do. And I also know very heavily that we cannot stall into societies of empowered deficient humans.

Obviously that is one of the needs. It clashes with zero-sum game mentalities - and they are part of what needs to be overcome (further questions for the superconsultants).

> the profound stupidity of the humans

Which poses the need for getting Intelligence somewhere.

> connecting it to important infrastructure

Are you aware that agentic NNs can try and do it on their own quirk? Agentic NNs are the bad idea.

In general, "empowering morons" is the bad idea.

> anthropomorphization

I, for one, have no idea what you are talking about in context.

> access to enough legal services

A large part of the world (possibly Nations-transversal, in different amounts) does not work within the boundaries of legal guarantees. Wealth is not an effective enough protection.


(I believe the poster meant: well past tattoos, the next superstep in the "body modification for self expression" subcultural era.)


The more likely explanation is that people vouched for their posts rather than the issue being fully resolved.

> They might as well rename it to

«When in trouble, when in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout»

~~ Walt Disney - Donald Duck


I think I read almost the same quote in a Heinlein novel.

> editorialised title

By whom? It's the actual title of the WSJ article.

> to drum up hype before IPO valuations

Check the article: it is just a shallow summary of the week - Navier-Stokes plus doomerist's resignations.
