all this nnoise reminds me the fear about the web crashing because computers were not programmed to switch to the year 2000. Thinking machines can be intelligent is kinda the same... No deadline here, how long it will tale people to realize that?
most of us were late to bitcoin because we dismissed it as if were similar to things before. but for those that spent the time to see how different bitcoin is, they saw the reality sooner.
the only thing this has in common with Y2K is that it's a doom prediction about tech. numerical overflow and AGI/ASI being good or bad are otherwise totally distinct things.
i also think assuming that ai won't get intelligent very fast, despite it gaining whatever level of intelligence it has now rather quickly and progressively, requires some claim that contradicts the prevailing trend of them getting smarter and smarter. so what's in the way? what will prevent it?

is not gaining intelligence, nor smarter lol... it just gives the impression of being more productive as it gets trained with more and more data, providing more probabilistically accurate responses.
What's good or bad will change depending on what use you do with it... is not the tech itself. Is a mic good or bad, none. It just depends on who use the mic and which information will be broadcasting with it.
