No one, absolutely no one: 6-week Anthropic employee: AI is gonna kill us all! Alignment Science Lead at Anthropic: Yep! >%10! Anthropic employee 3: It’s gonna kill us. I’m going to work for METR. Anthropic CEO: ZOMG, it’s totally gonna kill us! Regulate us daddy! Use METR. OpenAI CEO: Sounds good! Former trillionaire Elon Musk: Definitely! Bernie Sanders, advised by Anthropic investors: Yes, it’s gonna kill us all! Regulate it like nukes! METR sounds good! This is a psyop with clear goals: to provoke federal intervention, eliminate competition, and backstop Anthropic and OpenAI’s failing IPOs. Bernie has been co-opted into a broligarch-funded cult: Effective Altruism. His judgement has always been flawed. Now he’s just a useful idiot.

Holy shit. Don’t worry everyone, all we need is a “STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT.” The AI will regulate itself. 😑 We’re being presented with a FALSE CHOICE: 1) Calm down. AI’s going to make us all rich. 2) AI’s going to make us extinct zomg. Reality: 3) AI in its current form is the worst misallocation of resources in human history. Trillions of dollars will go up in smoke. AI won’t kill us or make us rich. But it will cause a depression.
