Terence Tao learned calculus at 7, won math olympiad gold at 13, and became a full professor at UCLA at 24. Fields Medal, MacArthur genius grant, the man other geniuses call the greatest living mathematician. In 2014 he proved that a version of the equations describing smooth, calm water can blow up in finite time. So when he calls AI adoption "extremely nonlinear dynamics," that's a diagnosis from the one human most qualified on Earth to make it. And he's the opposite of a luddite. Tao spent…

Mathematician Terence Tao: "we have to slow down AI. the pace is insane, and there's no reason to be this fast — no reason at all" It's amazing how willing we are to change everything without any idea what happens afterward These are extremely nonlinear dynamics
