> Yann LeCun and Andrew Ng are noteworthy in being the only two big names in AI who have that opinion.
They're also the only two not trying to weaponize FUD to bolster their reputation and patch the gaping financial holes in their doomed commercial enterprise.
The people who believe superintelligent AI has a chance of killing everyone have been saying this since years before those companies even existed.
This conspiracy theory simply doesn't hold up to basic causality.
LeCun calls these peeps "paranoid" and "crazy". Harsh, but I agree with him. Some have formed cults that worship LLMs. (facepalm)
