Comment by abecedarius

A fact relevant to this claim: the signers of the referenced statement, https://www.safe.ai/statement-on-ai-risk, are mostly not "Big Tech".

I'd pause and think twice about who seems most straightforwardly honest on this before jumping to conclusions -- and more importantly about the object-level claims: Is there no substantial chance of advanced AI in, like, decades or sooner? Would scalable intelligences comparable or more capable than humans pose any risk to them? Taking into account that the tech creating them, so far, does not produce anything like the same level of understanding of how they work.
