      "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 …

      Replying to @ToKTeacher
      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".

      @IHWCo @SamHarrisOrg Plus Harris's degrees aren't that relevant to computer science.

      @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.

      @Intrinsic29 @n8r0n74 My concerns are shared by serious programmers. What I believe I know about AI, I'm getting from experts.

      @SamHarrisOrg @Intrinsic29 @n8r0n74 Programmers or experts in AI? There is a a very important difference.

      @jmac_ai "Programmers" is considered a derogatory term by many of us. In fields like AI, many people (1/2) @SamHarrisOrg @Intrinsic29

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

          @SamHarrisOrg @n8r0n74 @Intrinsic29 eg many who signed FLI's open letter don't think there is; but the letter gets wielded otherwise
