Today marks one year since Max Tegmark, Elon Musk, and several others published an open letter proposing a six-month pause in AI development.
Me and WALL-Y published our own letter: Pause AI Doomster Pessimism: An Open Letter.
No pause occurred, but the AI doomsday was put on the agenda, even by world leaders like the President of the European Commission.
Soon, mine and WALL-Y's book, The Centaur's Edge, will be released in English, and today Quillette publishes an excerpt.
In it, I counter Max Tegmark's main arguments for AI doom.
