> I think the end of the world is greatly exagarated. We actually have much bigger problems than "AI".

Millions of people are going to have problems putting food on the table and providing a roof over their head, if the progress of these AIs doesn't halt immediately, or if some form of UBI isn't enacted.

If it keeps progressing in the current rate I think it's hundreds of millions world-wide, basically most of the middle class in the private sector in the developed world. Governments will HAVE to seriously retrain people (while giving them income) to become teachers, health care workers or wherever humans are still needed.

That's an opinion framed as a fact. It's equally likely that more people will have jobs as "AI" becomes increasingly adopted across sectors, where new jobs will emerge to integrate them, of existing jobs are supplemented by them.

Why half research "immediately"?
