      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.

        I love how these scenarios never explain the hardware side. How can a software become infinitely smart without infinite hardware?

        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).
