> But here's the truly unsettling part: even the optimists are getting nervous. Geoffrey Hinton, the "Godfather of AI," revised his human extinction risk estimate from basically zero to 10-20% within three decades. When the guy who invented the technology starts sounding like a doomsday prepper, maybe it's time to pay attention.

Anyone who actually thinks that genAI poses such a risk, but continues to work on it anyway, is unambiguously doing evil things.

FrankWilhoit•6mo ago
The risk of human extinction does not come from AI but from human devolution, which is also why we (some of us ;) overestimate AI. It is the technology that is sufficiently advanced to seem like magic; it is our threshold for magic that is going down, as we go down.
