“You just said that 10% doesn’t seem an unreasonable estimate that AI could kill all humans”

“Yes”

“Wow… oh my God.”

@vicderbyshire speaks to Nobel Prize Winner and so-called ‘Godfather of AI’ Geoffrey Hinton about predictions by an Anthropic researcher that there’s a more than 10% chance AI could kill all humans within a decade.

Our evaluations show that frontier AI's cyber capabilities are advancing quickly. The length of cyber tasks frontier models can complete has been doubling every few months, and this rate has become faster over time, with recent models exceeding our previous trends. 🧵

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The cross is part of the mission. The imperialist occupation of the world is disrupted from within; the violence that until now has been the law is unmasked. The poor, imprisoned, and rejected Messiah descends into the darkness of death, yet in so doing He brings a new creation to light. #HolyThursday

Imagine enduring one night of this. For the people of Gaza, this is their third winter in a row.

Journalist: “You've said that Russia should repay for reconstruction of Ukraine. Do you believe Israel should repay for reconstruction of Gaza?”

EU chief spokesperson: “I have no comment at this stage.”

There are many answers to the question of "why can't we just unplug them?"

This one of them

[Seán Ó hÉigeartaigh @S_OhEigeartaigh]

Let me say one thing that actually matters: if we believe their staff then what we're seeing, and that we're seeing eval results for, is not OpenAI's most capable model. They have more capable in-house. Without transparency requirements, this asymmetry will only grow, and will make meaningful awareness and governance increasingly ineffective + eventually impossible.

The community needs to keep pushing for transparency requirements and testing of models in development and deployed internally.

[Eliezer Yudkowsky ⏹️ @ESYudkowsky]

My current rough sense of history is that the last "moral panic" about social media turned out to be accurate warnings. The bad things actually happened, as measured by eyeball and by instrument. Now we all live in the wreckage. Anyone want to dispute this?

if a sci-fi movie had AI safety researchers gravely alluding to “the MechaHitler Incident” it would seem so ridiculously overwrought

@wholemars If America builds Artificial Superintelligence, the ASI runs the world - not America.

If China builds ASI, the ASI runs the world - not China.

The notion that ASI would benefit either nation's geopolitical power reflects a total failure to understand ASI.
