Tyler Cowen brings sanity to the debate on the future implications of AI:
“The reality is that no one at the beginning of the printing press had any real idea of the changes it would bring. No one at the beginning of the fossil fuel era had much of an idea of the changes it would bring. No one is good at predicting the longer-term or even medium-term outcomes of these radical technological changes (we can do the short-term, albeit imperfectly). No one. Not you, not Eliezer, not Sam Altman, and not your next-door neighbor.” - Tyler Cowen: There Is No Turning Back on AI
No one can predict the impact of technology change. Ignore the chatter. Instead focus on real world changes as they occur, respond to the tangible shifts as they unfold. Not the predictions of the optimists, the naysayers and the doom sayers.
