Max Tegmark - Footnote 54

Note: The claim mentions 'rapid AI progress surprising even experts like Bengio', but the source only mentions Bengio being surprised by the progress of ChatGPT/GPT-4. The claim mentions Tegmark being criticized for weak rebuttals, overreliance on speculation and authority appeals, and communication that was 'outsider-unfriendly' with excessive jargon. The source mentions Tegmark overrelied upon unsupported speculation and appeals to authority, and spotted a few occasions of using the terms 'alignment' and 'safety' in ways that would not have been obvious to an onlooker. The source does not mention weak rebuttals or communication that was 'outsider-unfriendly' with excessive jargon.
