This post isn't by Tao.

I'm increasingly seeing people read something in a post that isn't there. GP said "Tao is mobilizing the community".

You can mobilize the community through guest posts that slowly nudge people towards accepting AI, so that they demand funding for AI for academics. Which he himself suggests:

He is founder of SAIR.

The EU version is to demand a CERN for AI:

It just looked to me like the GP hadn't read the article and assumed it was a post by Tao. You are right about Tao of course, no objections there.
