Sick of switching your clocks every fall and spring? In 2022, the Senate unanimously approved the "Sunshine Protection Act," a bill that would have ended the switching in 2023. The GOP-controlled House of Representatives did not pass the bill. Of course.

When confronted by current bad economic data showing things getting worse, Republicans blame Biden. When confronted with polls showing dissatisfaction, they say the polls are wrong. When confronted with election results of voter revolts, they say the elections are rigged.

The time for burying our heads in the sand is over. If the people working directly on these technologies are saying this, it’s time to pump the brakes.   We can’t let these massive AI companies literally gamble with the future of humanity.
@EvanHub: Jacob is correct here—we really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans! I personally think it is >10% within the next decade. I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to.

QT: @hilbertspaess: The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible - but I hear the same people express fear privately. No other human activity poses this level of danger.
