I don't have optimism for AI either. But none of it changes the pace of development. It is moving at breakneck pace and the trendline points to the worst outcome. It's similar to global warming. The worst possible outcome is likely inevitable. The problem is people can't separate truth from the desire to be optimistic. Can you be optimistic without denying the truth? Probably an impossible endeavor. To be optimistic, one must first lie to himself.
