Please show me where that says he has military experience, experience with weapons, etc. He has no experience in this arena. It's like me telling someone how to wire their house because I have an MBA


He was thrown in there because he's a big name

Well being that he is a math genius and computer programming is a bunch a math, I would think he would know a tad bit more than you. Unless you are a math genius yourself. Are you?

His experience is in solving problems that are counterintuitive to the human brain. Higher order dimensional shite and other shite that would come naturally to a very smart AI. So yeah, it's probably good to listen to his opinion when trying to extrapolate what we simply can't extrapolate.

Apparently if we listen to Thib, but not those computer geek dummies in the OP, then we should be good.

I disagree with him because I think he's addressing a theoretical problem that will never exist (at least not intentionally) but come on, now.
