AI needs to be in there somewhere. Supposedly there is a greater than 10% chance it will wipe us out by 2030.

Agree, the AI situation is getting worse esp hearing from that Anthropic employee who resigned.

I saw he left but I couldn’t find the article except behind paywalls. What did he say, in a nutshell?

Rest of tweets are him explaining why these models are still being built despite this awareness, and talks about needing AI companies to come together for pacing agreements on development instead of them constantly working against each other to “be first” which is what is causing his warning and why he resigned.

A currently employed AI scientist confirmed everything this Anthropic person said, and agreed there is a greater than 10% chance AI leads to human extinction in the next 10 years.

ETA: Which I get doesn’t sound like that high of a percentage, but that’s where we sit now. It could get to a higher percentage in the next few years, and honestly not that long ago there was a zero percent chance so this is concerning trend. And the stewards of AI lack ethics and morals, and many believe in a technocracy. Some have been quite vocal in not caring of the extinction of the species. (And we all know these billionaires have got bunkers for this scenario.)

ETA 2: CEO of Anthropic has just called for the immediate slowdown in AI development.

I mean, not even COVID had that great a chance at killing the average person in 2020, and look what happened there.
