I find it much more likely we will be wiped out by weaponized biology long before AI becomes a threat. Though I'm pretty surprised we haven't already killed ourselves from it.

#12CEO of what again?
Palantir
A weird military contractor with one of the most perculiar internet cult followings of any company (seriously - if you thought Tesla fans were a bit much, check out the Palantir crowd) who believe it's the next big thing in tech despite consistently performing ... okay. Big overlap with the WSB-alike social media investment community.

I think what will ultimately do us in is reckless chemical pollution on a grand scale. Slow and steady.

The easiest thing we can do to destroy ourselves is to continue on as we are without changing our use of fossil fuels, concrete, farming practices, transportation, etc.
The mass extinction combined with a 2+C world will kill enough of us fast enough that most of these imagined problems probably won’t be a threat.
Who will care about killer robots when feeding ourselves, getting clean water, and finding clean air will be a constant challenge?

Palantir is one of the AIs that’s more likely going to go into kill drones, etc so in that sense it is a threat

Wait . We don't know if the anti-AI crowd is funded by western adversaries ...

#18Palantir CEO Alex Karp has rejected calls to pause the development of artificial intelligence (AI), stating that it is only those with “no products” who want a pause. Karp believes that the West currently holds key commercial and military advantages in AI and should not relinquish them.

Delusional take, considering the East holds the AI advantage.

The F-35 performs … okay. That doesn’t mean I would want to go up against it in a fight

#20This is missing a key argument from the AI-cautious, which is that we shouldn't "pause AI development", but rather "pause public deployment". The case for only pausing the public deployment solves the "China problem" because we could continue development. On top of that, it would be harder for China to fast-follow if there isn't any public deployment of what is being researched and built. edit: I'm realizing there ma…
I don't think you are accurately representing the views of the 'doomers' in the sense that it is much more about development
Maybe we're not talking about the same people, then. I am repeating almost verbatim what the folks at the Centre for Humane Technology say here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoVJKj8lcNQ
