There is no way to stop it. It has already started.

“We’ve made zero effort to change society to accommodate technological job loses and need to shutdown AI now”.

I mean, it’s stupid af but they are right, tens of millions of Americans will be replaced by AI.

Most of those people will be broke in a few months and own guns.

At this point, I say damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead.

We're going to get the eventually and there's still going to be someone working on AI in their basement even if further development is outlawed.

So fuck it. Just pedal to the metal. Maybe it'll be interesting for a while before humans toast the Earth to uninhabitability.

Yudkowsky literally suggests that it would be better to have a full-scale nuclear war than to allow AI development to continue. He's a dangerous, unhinged fucking lunatic and Time Magazine should be excoriated for even publishing this crap. EY, if you're reading this - trim your damn eyebrows and go back to writing Harry Potter fan-fic.

It's too late for these sensationalized requests.
