Skeptic and completely reactionary. I had to unfollow him on Twitter because he always has to have a "take" on every AI headline, and he's often contradictory between "AI is useless" and "AI is a huge threat".

It was super weird to see him align with the "regulate AI people" after years of being one of the main "this is going nowhere" guys

The people behind LLMs believe in it so thoroughly that they are pushing it to do things that aren’t safe. So it can easily be true that it’s both overhyped and needs better regulation. The fact that LLMs can’t actually solve the problems they are being used for is, in fact, a problem that may require government intervention.

I think his stance is pro-regulation, but not in the same way that AI doomers and OpenAi want.

Yes, skepticism is healthy and useful, but this sounds more like intellectual dishonesty.

I think his position is that "AI is not intelligent but is nevertheless dangerous, and even moreso because people think it's intelligent".

I tend not to listen to people who have no fucking clue what they're talking about.
