  To make it explicit for people who don't follow tech in this way: the lesson investors took from Uber being able to break the law & then get the law built *around* their exploration was that this is a great way to monopolize a market just as it's forming, and regulators will help…

  If the top executives of the top AI companies believe AI creates a risk of human extinction, why don't they stop working on it instead of publishing press releases?

• @danhendrycks Dan Hendrycks on x

  We just put out a statement: “Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war.” Signatories include Hinton, Bengio, Altman, Hassabis, Song, etc. https://safe.ai/... 🧵 (1/6)

• @neil_chilson Neil Chilson on x

  Have so many smart people ever so emphatically said so little? “Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war.” That's it, that's the statement. https://twitter.com/...

• @parmy Parmy Olson on x

  Big names in AI have backed a single statement about catastrophic risk: https://www.safe.ai/... I've no doubt there's genuine concern among these folks, but this will also draw attention AWAY from existing efforts to regulate AI systems, like making them more transparent. [image]

• @f_kaltheuner Frederike Kaltheuner on x

  This narrative is partially being pushed by the very same tech CEOs that spent the last few weeks arguing that they should essentially regulate themselves. Meanwhile, AI is already causing real harm to people - lives are at risk right now. This is a coordinated distraction. @hrw …

• @robinhanson Robin Hanson on x

  Yet another MSM article on AI risk that only cites doomers. Do they really think the “science” is that settled here? https://www.nytimes.com/...

• @briannawu Brianna Wu on x

  I share extreme concerns with AI, but it's hard to take these individuals seriously when they're the libertarian oligarchs using their vast wealth to undermine to very government they are saying should regulate them. https://www.nytimes.com/...

• @kaneview Angela Kane on x

  via @NYTimes. I may not be one of the “godfathers” of AI but when invited to sign the one-sentence statement, I immediately did. Our voices need to be heard and acted upon. The urgency is clear. https://www.nytimes.com/...

  “Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war.” I signed as well. A truly elegant minimum viable product in action. https://twitter.com/...

• @tom_westgarth15 Tom Westgarth on x

  A few thoughts on things I think can be true at the same time: 1.) Ignoring these concerns and calling them ‘sci-fi’ is like calling the Einstein-Roosevelt letter about fears of the atomic bomb ‘sci-fi’ 2.) Media should also be giving coverage to other AI harms already happening …

  This is so stupid. They want you to fear the fantasy so you don't look at the real damage being done to people right now. https://twitter.com/...

  Another sign-on statement about the existential risks of AI- this one signed by Google, Microsoft, OpenAI and other company execs and a slew of academics. The single-sentence statement, coordinated by the Center for AI Safety, is here. https://www.safe.ai/... [image]

  Breaking my Twitter fast to share this short statement from @ai_risks that my colleagues and I have signed: “Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war.” https://www.safe.ai/...

• @tante @tante on x

  If the people signing this document https://www.safe.ai/... about “AI risk” were serious, they wouldn't keep building these systems and selling them (actually renting them out) on the open market. The list is advertising and useful idiots.

• @as_a_worker @as_a_worker on x

  seems weird AI guys keep arguing the thing they're building is going to kill us all. then you realize musk and the early entrants are using fear to a) hype their job destroying project to other capitalists b) urge the gov to give them a natural monopoly https://www.nytimes.com/..…

  Extinction by AI is going mainstream: Altman, Hassabis, Amodei, Hinton, Bengio, ... https://www.nytimes.com/...

  Most key players have now formally acknowledged that AI existential risk is real! Next step: Acknowledging that superintelligent AI cannot be controlled in the foreseeable future, and we should therefore immediately stop figuring out how to build it! https://twitter.com/...

  I joined @sama @geoffreyhinton @demishassabis @willmacaskill Stuart Russell and many others I respect in signing this statement on AI safety. Arguably this is now the world's most important single issue: https://www.safe.ai/...

  AI researchers from leading universities worldwide have signed the AI extinction statement, a situation reminiscent of atomic scientists issuing warnings about the very technologies they've created. As Robert Oppenheimer noted, “We knew the world would not be the same.” 🧵(2/6) [i…
