I don't think you're scared but I do think you're in denial. Read what he says. He literally says it's depressing to watch all his core beliefs get dismantled.

I don't think you're scared but I do think you're in denial. Read what he says. He literally says it's depressing to watch all his core beliefs get dismantled. I'm not making this up. These words came out of his mouth. Follow the links. This is not some minor realization he went through. His entire world view was changed and he's the one claiming this... Not me. His books which I read are all about recursion and strange loops and he's shocked that LLMs are simply feed forward networks with zero feedback. He claims it debunks everything he wrote. He has the most to lose in disbelieving what's happening with LLMs. But he's to rational to do what you or most people do. He has to accept the truth and basically admit to being utterly wrong. Once you read the links you will not agree with him. That's the most likely behavior for most people. But think on this. He has the most to lose and he thinks the books he wrote is wrong while you think the books he wrote is right. Given the context the conditions are ripe for him to be the most biased and you to be less so, but he believes the opposite against his own self interest. From this you know he's not biased. Most likely you are. It has nothing to do with fear or dislike of agi. It's just common human bias no one is sure where this lunacy comes from.
