It may make you sound Very Important in 2018, but it *will* sound pretty ridiculous in 100 years. Let's treat AI as science and engineering, not as some kind of mystical art.

If you can sketch out what an AGI would be, how it would work, & what would make it dangerous -- the way a physicist might have sketched out the A-bomb in the early 1930s -- I'll worry about it. Until then, I'll worry about the actual, describable risks of ML applications

If there is even a 5% chance that AGI will destroy humanity, then Elon is right to sound the alarm loudly -- no one was listening before.

I believe Humanity will have a much larger problem before we get to THAT! Keep doing what you're doing I'm learning from your tweets and heading to the books thanks
