>Another article about fears of AGI.

This one is different. It's because the article is focusing on the fear comes from the preeminent expert on Machine learning. This is the guy who started the second AI revolution. When it comes from him nobody and I mean nobody can call the fear of AI "illegitimate" or just the latest media fear mongering.

There are plenty of people who call LLMs stochastic parrots and declare that the fear is equivalent to flat earthers starting irrational panic.

Basically this article establishes the "fear of AI" as legitimate. There is room for academic and intellectual disagreement. But there is no more room for the snobbish dismissal that pervades not just the internet but especially sites like HN where there's a more intelligent (and as a result) arrogant dismissal.
