LeCun has been consistently wrong for the last ten years, I am not sure why he keeps being amplified.

Edit: I am sure, it's denial.

    You can't pull the plug after it kills people. For example see [1], where the DOJ mistargeted a school with AI.

    There are scenarios where kill -9 isn't going to happen in time. What if the team that is harming people with AI is different from the one that is monitoring the harm? What if no one is monitoring? What if the user is intentionally malicious?

    And wiping out humanity doesn't necessarily mean shooting people either. Every trader involved in the '08 financial crisis was locally acting in their own interests. Those could have easily been AIs optimizing trading strategies too.

    All kinds of vulnerable people are dying due to LLMs. [0]

    If SOTA LLM companies can benefit from the "intelligence", then they should also be liable for the harm caused.

      By that logic, producers of hammers should be liable for people banged in the head. No. It does not happen for gun producers, you figure for makers of screwdrivers "sometimes used for stabbing".

    > Because he has credibility, much more than you.

    And there are people that have much more credibility than him who actually take this scenario seriously. But I'm sure you will downplay them by saying they are tech bros or that they have some stake in being doomers (as if saying that AI might kill everyone would be good strategy for attracting investors - it's obviously not).
