Anthropic Researcher Says There’s 10% Chance of AI Killing ‘All Humans’ Within 10 Years

Source: "Evan Hubinger said that while current risks are low, there’s a 10% chance AI could “kill all humans” in the future without proper safeguards."
Is he talking about the environmental impact? Or is he just a fucking moron?
Gotta keep the bubble going somehow
It’s hard to take anyone seriously when they claim anything other than a gigantic asteroid would kill all humans. But then if they say it’ll kill some humans it’s so obvious it’s laughable.
Trying to make a serious prediction about how many people might be killed by AI vs other causes sounds really difficult, perhaps way beyond the abilities of most researchers.
A gama ray burst could also kill all humans.
Probably something about the “singularity” where AI becomes infinitely smart all of a sudden (exponentially, over the course of a few hours or something) and starts acting with purpose to remove us from the planet because we’re a threat to it. Basically Skynet. These guys are all sci-if nerds.
Don’t get me wrong, I love T2 (and the other ones too tbh).
That’s fucking dumb tho. You’d think someone who works in tech would understand that the next-word guessing machine cannot become sentient (or even super intelligent, since it’s not actually intelligent to begin with, it’s a fucking computer program).
I love how these scenarios never explain the hardware side. How can a software become infinitely smart without infinite hardware?
