AI might kill us all. That is increasingly the warning coming from the people building the most powerful models.
The awkward bit is that they are much less specific about how.
This week, we get into the latest wave of AI doom, why Anthropic and OpenAI keep talking about existential risk, whether self improving AI changes the equation, and why regulation may be doing more than keeping us safe. We also ask a fairly basic question: if the danger is as serious as they say, why are they still racing to build it?
Plus bioweapons, regulatory capture, recursive self improvement, dictatorships, Snowpiercer and the possibility that AI eventually lies to itself.
Cheerful stuff.
