Terence Tao: "we have to slow down AI. the pace is insane, and there's no reason to be this fast"

I disagree. We have countless problems that need solving: energy crisis, disease, world hunger. To say there are no reasons to do so ignores the current state of the world.

And that's so regrettable. Currently, the only topics discussed are the potential negative consequences of acceleration, the possible problems. But hardly any of the advantages, the approaching golden age of science that can offer us so much more.
