How do you define an AI doomer? I’m wondering if I’m one too. My position is that I think AI is an amazing tool, but that’s it. It’s like any other tool we humans have developed before – we use it to create more quickly, with less effort. P

Yeah and that’s the point of the article I think. If you never swing your can’t never hit. And I added the notion that even if you miss almost half of your swings you can still win big time.

In my perception Sabine’s quality degraded over the last year or so. Maybe it’s also the topics she covers. I’m not sure why she is getting into fantasies of AGI for example. I liked the skeptical version of her better.
