If they actually believed this they'd be buying a truckload of fertilizer and diving it to the nearest chip fab. I don't buy it.

What... I think you might be sharing more about your internal psyche here than providing some generalized commentary on this story.

Why would you need to bomb a chip fab because you think AI might lead to people getting killed in the future? I'm convinced of many things killing humans, yet I don't have any desire to bomb or kill others, I think this is pretty common, but who knows....

It's all marketing. Don't fall for it, it's the age old strategy "our product is extremely dangerous, so fear us". Like the tobacco companies saying all the time "our cigarettes are so dangerous, they cause cancer". Or like Purdue Pharma saying "do not use fentanyl, it's so dangerous, it kills thousands of people every year". They try to generate fear in their products, to shock investors into buying their stock.

This is the most perverse marketing campaign in history. "Our product might wipe out all of human civilization". It is said that heavily regulated industries earn that regulation. Seems like the LLM folks really want that regulation.

The top companies do. Regulation when you're on top is how you get to remain on top.
