“I listened to [Eliezer Yudkowsky] thinking he was going to be crazy. I don’t think he’s crazy at all,” Hinton says. “But, okay, it’s not helpful to talk about bombing data centers.”

It’s not clear to me that Hinton disagrees with it; he just seems to think it’s better not to talk about it.

At least avoiding *public* calls for violence is less likely to inspire stochastic terrorism…. but yeah, he seems better at PR not actually substantially different in beliefs…

I swear to god, everything I hate seems to be linked in a way that would be considered hackwork if it was live TV.

This is probably the most relatable thing I've read on this website.
Linked acausally? 😳

He thinks it is reasoning. “yet it could perform the kind of reasoning that humans take a lifetime to attain”
