Professor Gary Marcus

I love the internet.

I'm even fine with social media.

I don't have a beef against social media.

It's just in the case of artificial intelligence.

I don't think we're ready to survive sharing the planet with a smarter species.

It's purely logical.

I'm just a logical guy.

So that's the nature of my concern.

Right.

I mean, you know, there's different levels of doom and some people like to focus on the problem like, oh, how are we going to have privacy in the age of AI?

And like, OK, yeah, sure.

You can think about that.

It's just that we're all about to get annihilated.

Right.

So you really have to prioritize the concerns here.

Right.

Like if we can survive 10 or 20 years, so we have time to worry about things like privacy that we're like amusing ourselves to death or whatever, like those are good problems to have.

I mean, it does make me conflicted about whether I should have had kids or to have more kids.

And it's tough because, you know, I'm partially responsible for creating more victims of getting annihilated by AI.

One thing that helps is that my PDoom isn't 100%, right?
