        1) Looking forward to it, 2) You no longer need bit.lys in tweets, and 3) Can we do an interview about AI for @PCMag ?

        Hopefully you balance it with counter arguments from an AI expert.

        Yeah and any appeal to opinipns of scientists needs to appeal to consensus to be valid.

        What's false? That appeal to scientific consensus is valid and valuable? Not controversial.

        I will watch it later @SamHarrisOrg @caspmax but I will be disappointed if I see the usual scaremongering. Care makes sense. Fear does not.

        AI is an out of control train we have no control over. Even narrow AI will take a lot of jobs. It's doing that now.

        Your talk is thought provoking, but I'm wondering how Ray Kurzweil and his Singularity hypothesis could offset the risk.

        Ray Kurzweil is dead wrong about pace of progress towards singularity vs superintelligent machines

        Good talk. 14 minutes simply isn't enough time to be sufficiently persuasive to anyone who's new to the subject, though.
