I will not lie that I find the genre of TCS person "AGI confessions" very funny: I did not believe two weeks ago (was asleep for ten years, though), but now I do, you should too. This has happened again and again and again, and they all become zealots.

You can actually believe that there will be large dislocations if people do not start to adapt, if policy responses are lacking. Things will indeed change very fast, but you have to say something constructive and useful, and for once be a little normal. I have started losing respect for that area.

If anyone is thinking: No I am not subtweeting J. Nelson, I mostly agree on the substantive point. But it reminded me of the contours of the constant "I was a skeptic k months ago, now I have seen the truth." But going from there to zealotry? The speed of this is the fastest in the TCS/COLT crowd.
