It’s still better to take the threat of AI very seriously. If we miscalculate AI to be an existential threat when it’s not, maybe we lose the arms race. On the flip side, if we miscalculate the scope of AI and not take it seriously enough, it’s game over.
Genuinely all this “AI will kill us in a decade” is bullshit. They’ve hit a wall in development and all these tech gurus are trying to stop the bubble from bursting and save their pockets.
