I personally find discussions of AGI to be largely circular, depending on how one defines it, but Gary makes key points here. My POV: whether “AGI” is nigh or not, we should be laser-focused on addressing present harms—both because it’s important & to demonstrate/hone capacity.

Ouch. Ezra Klein left out a LOT of important things yesterday, in his podcast with Biden’s AI czar Ben Buchanan. Here’s a partial list, excerpted from my new essay responding with what I think Klein got wrong.

• Reports from The Wall Street Journal and Fortune that Project…

The statement is part of a broader discussion on artificial general intelligence (AGI) and its implications, which is a public issue. The conversation involves critiques and responses to public figures' opinions on AGI, focusing on the importance of addressing current harms related to AI.

  1. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement indirectly promotes understanding by engaging in a dialogue about AGI and its implications, which is a complex and significant public issue. [+1]
  2. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in constructive criticism by pointing out what was missed in a previous reply, contributing to a broader dialogue without resorting to personal attacks. [+1]
