Terence Tao echoes long-standing AI takes, prompting 'people only listen to him' lament
burny_tech · x · 2026-09-08
A repost chain notes that mathematician Terence Tao is now publicly making a number of points about AI that the original poster (grotsen) has long argued himself — with the rueful aside that people listen more when Tao says it. The reposter agrees that even authoritative voices may not shift industry attitudes. The post does not detail the specific claims, only linking to the original source.
