In terms of sentiment analysis regarding AI's progress overall based on these tweets alone without additional context or information it seems Pedro Domingos has mixed feelings. While he acknowledges threats and potential challenges in the field (e.g., efficient learning algorithms replacing current technologies), his tone remains realistic rather than overly negative or alarmist. Some tweets even express optimism (e.g., comparing AI to reading books and the advantages it brings). Overall, his sentiment towards AI appears to be neither strongly positive nor negative.
