The Math Superstar Who's Terrified of AI–and Just Took a Job at OpenAI

Any AI company should have a hardline rule against hiring any employee who sincerely believes that AI is going to doom mankind, given what AI doomers believe. If they're sincere in their beliefs they may (from their perspective) justifiably murder everyone at the company. After all mere homicide would be a rounding error against an 'omnicidal' threat, or the infinite torture machines in the fever dreams of AI doomers.

Anyone claiming that other people are working to extinct humanity is making a threat against those people, no matter how politely they state it. ... not that the safety cult has entirely confined themselves to polite euphemisms.

Consider this a preregistered statement when an ai doomer loons poisons everyone at an annual company meeting: it was an easily anticipated threat.

Here's a list of 20 researchers and managers that would need to be fired according to you. My guess is that there are hundreds, possibly thousands, of researchers and managers employed at the labs who didn't sign this statement for fear of being ostracized by their colleagues.

It's one of those "single-page apps", so I cannot link directly to the "AI company" tab: the reader would have to follow my link, then click that tab.
