Gary Marcus cites view: current models already pose grid-down cyber risks, RSI fears aren't doom talk

In an exchange with @gmiller, Gary Marcus clarifies he isn't an AI-risk denier. Quoting his counterpart's argument: even short of existential risks, today's flawed models can impose big cyber risks on human infrastructure — a key reason people worry about imminent RSI, not because of extinction within 18 months but because grid-down risks may arrive rather soon. Marcus stresses his critique targets intellectual dishonesty, not risk debate itself.
