    Sam Harris Retweeted Brett Hall

    "It's close" is debatable (5 years or 50?), but this article doesn't address the danger at all.https://twitter.com/ToKTeacher/status/602260717522194433 …

    The main errors of @SamHarrisOrg on AGI by the way are that "it's close" and "lots of progress has been made" and "it's a terrible danger".

        @Intrinsic29, @SamHarrisOrg has said before that he wishes he had time to learn to code. I know he's busy, but it does help w/ the AI issue.

        @n8r0n74 @SamHarrisOrg I agree. I wouldn't claim he's incapable of fully understanding the issue but it definitely helps.

        @jmac_ai who write the code are *also* domain experts. I'm guessing @SamHarrisOrg has had access to both :) (2/2) @Intrinsic29

        @SamHarrisOrg And if you think abt “close” only in quantitative terms, your begging the very question that @DavidDeutschOxf is addressing.

        @PeterMonnerjahn @SamHarrisOrg @DavidDeutschOxf it's not the closeness that matters; it's inevitable. It's more about the inherent danger.
