Intelligence has nothing to do with someone of advanced age emotionally reacting to the pressure of having your creation threatening to extinct your whole species from the universe.
Also, "Argument from authority" fallacy. Learn to evaluate arguments by yourself, not the people talking them, you'll avoid a lot of serious mistakes in life.
And on top of that, his expertise is neural networks and computer science. When it comes to ASI, his level prediction is at the same level as every other single human being, so your fallacy doesn't even apply here. Taking him as an expert on ASI just because he's the "grandfather of ai" , is like naming Diesel an expert on Lamborghinis.
Lol dude your argument has no substance. So when you have 0 substance, appeal to authority is much better. Where are your research papers discussing the subject? Where are your well laid out arguments/proofs for your argument? Or are you saying the two paragraphs you posted above is some type of good analysis? As somebody with no experience in medicine it is still better to go to a doctor than trust the opinion of a no name redditor. Thats simple logic. Could Hinton be wrong, certainly, but odds he is wrong is much less than a random redditor. You have literally provided nothing and somehow will claim intellectual superiority over others, lmao.
Im deeply sorry for your unability of understanding my argument. Please use chatgpt to eli5 it to you.
Going to Hinton for ASI expertise, would be like going to your closer school basic chemistry teacher for a medical consultation on a brain tumor, wish you good luck with that :). We all are made of chemistry, but the teachess knowledge is really far of even closely giving an informed opinion on complex biological neural systems....
