Existential-Risk

That virus doubled for two years and then stopped. AI has been doubling for decades, and the doubling time itself is shrinking.

A year of AI milestones in a month, and progress is only accelerating.

I’ve been obsessed with AI for almost 14 years. Over that time, I’ve come to believe there’s a high probability that independent AI systems more capable than humans will be built soon - and that this poses an existential risk to every person alive.

Humanity can rise to the challenge, and we’ve done so many times before. Our story need not end in catastrophe.
