That Coxon guy looks as delusional as the AI leadership. If you watch interviews he gave he doesn’t articulate what he’s concerned about, only sharing vague information about a supposed AI god that will take over the world, but without articulating why now, and how that would even happen. The more I look into his story the more that move looks like what a grifter would do
Thank you. I'm glad I'm not the only one. It looks like he's good at math and graduated Cambridge but a second rate engineer who was heading for the door anyway and decided he'd do well out of doing some scare mongering. Jacob's own words on CBS were "I think [it] clearly there was some latent demand for this sort of sentiment". He knows this is what people are eager to hear and he's providing that... It's the same grift Anthopic and OpenAI have been doing for years: "AGI in the next 6 months!" for the last 4 years...
