So weird that you gain status in the ML community by talking about how impossible AGI is, and it’s a taboo to be excited about it. Imagine if JFK or those running the Apollo program inspired their followers by saying “we won’t get to the moon anytime soon”.

Imagine if business ppl with zero understanding of biology where running around claiming that within 10 years we'd have eternal life and brain-boosting pills to get us IQs of 500, & that we need new regulations right now to handle it. Maybe you'd want actual doctors to weigh in.
I have spent over a decade doing practically nothing but thinking about AI and AGI. I've learned a few things. I could care less about status. But I do care about injecting a modicum of sanity in the public discussion

And to set the record straight, I have never claimed that AGI is "impossible" (or eternal life, for the record). If you read my writing you'll see that I consider it a given that we will eventually build synthetic intelligence comparable to that of humans, and beyond

I’m quite curious: are you saying you agree with the notion that AGI will eventually be achieved but with some caveats? I’d like to hear your thoughts on this in more detail if you can direct me to an article or blogpost you’ve written.

Well you did write about intelligence explosion being impossible. Yes you can maintain slow takeoff scenario but seems more like you’re trying to fix a biased scale by tossing a brick on the other side

It is not at all clear when AGI will happen, and some of the public debate is misguided. However, the arguments in your article were non sequiturs, which is extremely irresponsible IMHO, because the public does not understand them either.
