In the NYT today, Cade Metz implies that I left Google so that I could criticize Google. Actually, I left so that I could talk about the dangers of AI without considering how this impacts Google. Google has acted very responsibly.

I read and interpreted Care Metz NY Times article the way you meant: you left Google to speak more freely about AI and its potential dangers, and at no point, I felt you criticised Google. For what it's worth.

Maybe I over-reacted. When I read it I thought it could easily be interpreted as implying that I left so that I could criticize Google and that is certainly not the case.

NYT is definitely not garbage. It has great reporters. I was just correcting a nuance.

Hey Geoffrey. You originally predicted AI would become smarter than a human in 30-50 years. Now, you say it will happen much sooner. How soon?

I now predict 5 to 20 years but without much confidence. We live in very uncertain times. It's possible that I am totally wrong about digital intelligence overtaking us. Nobody really knows which is why we should worry now.

Are you serious that Google acted responsibly... Just your no disparagement clause speaking! I remember meeting you at a Google event and how arrogant you were due to your Google association!
