It’s pretty amazing how so many titans people respect are warning the alarm bells: Hofstadter, Altman, Hassabis, Bengio, Hinton, Tegmark, Sutskever, etc. but the implications are too scary for most people here to accept.

It's a very traumatic experience when some of your most core beliefs about the world start collapsing. And especially when you think that human beings are soon going to be eclipsed. It felt as if not only are my belief systems collapsing, but it feels as if the entire human race is going to be eclipsed and left in the dust soon."
