Gary marcus is the last person I would consider for a statement on the topic.

No offense intended, but Gary marcus is a hack and a joke. He is a very small step above the yud, and neither will contribute to the safety or development of this technology in any way.

not being as plugged in as need be, i'm unsure of the term "yud", and knowing that marcus is jewish, and that the term "yid" is one of degradation and antisemitism, regardless of how well the term "yud" may or may not apply here, i ask you to refrain from using it when commenting on or about someone who's jewish. there's enough jew hate going around these day.
He just means Eliezer Yudkowsky, to quote David Gerard, "a man whose sole achievements in life are charity fundraising — getting Peter Thiel to fund his Machine Intelligence Research Institute (MIRI), a research institute that does almost no research — and finishing a popular Harry Potter fanfiction novel. Yudkowsky has literally no other qualifications or experience."
