To quote Tsimerman:

Q: Worried how?

A: I think there’s a good chance AI will lead to human extinction. I also think, separately from that, that AI will be better than mathematicians at math very soon.

Some people are advocating for a total pause in AI. I don’t think that’s wrong, I’d support that. But I doubt it will happen. So given that AI is moving forward, it’s important that we stay abreast of what it can do and how to integrate it into our lives.

To quote Tsimerman:

More broadly there’s the issue that most, if not all, human activity is going to be economically pointless. It’s going to be economically not viable, because most of what we do is just have basic cognition and apply it to mundane tasks. Already many jobs have become: Ask the AI, then verify. Ask the AI, verify.

I’m hoping for a future where the AI is taking care of us, and we just get to exist and do what we like. That, for me, would be a huge win.
