After reading this once I expected people to get extremely mad about it, because it’s so abstract with few big words

I am entirely 100% unsurprised it isn't making anyone mad :D
David is taking AI seriously in this post. It's mostly theater to the people who talk the most about. This is as relevant to the theater as astronomy is to astrology.

The ONLY time I ever recall astrologers getting mad at astronomers was when the latter decided to add a new constellation (Ophiucus) to the zodiac. It was like a gerrymandering debate :D
Heh just did a search to be sure: he doesn't use the word 'singularity' even once in the post and paperclips only once in passing. Threat level 1/10.
