Venkatesh’s argument is so poor it comes close to “not even wrong” territory. He doesn’t really cite any specific people or literature to disagree with, and instead makes only vague references to the “non-sense” of others. The most significant concerns around AI safety are not discussed nor even mentioned leading it to read almost as if he has no expertise whatsoever in this field, and indeed that seems to be the case. No need for an appeal to authority though - just taking a little time to hear the actual concerns and opinions on topic would be welcome. Great intro to the subject here, I wonder what his response would be? https://youtu.be/pYXy-A4siMw https://youtu.be/pYXy-A4siMw
