GaryMarcus · x · 2026-09-11
Gary Marcus argues that nearly everyone panicking about AI is just fretting and virtue signaling rather than doing anything. His call to action: if you genuinely worry about AI, stop using it and tell your friends to do the same. Sending companies the message that people won't use products lacking serious safety commitments, he says, will show up as bad numbers at IPO—where it actually hurts.
