But when people are like, no, you just read too much science fiction and you're delusional.

I Know How to Build Safe Superintelligence | Yoshua Bengio, the most-cited AI researcher

I'm like, no, I'm not.

80,000 Hours Podcast
I Know How to Build Safe Superintelligence | Yoshua Bengio, the most-cited AI researcher

And I almost feel like you need to go out of your way to try to engage with the substance of what they're saying, even if you think that maybe that's not doing the heavy lifting.
