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).

> you seem to be very invested in AI wanting to kill us.
Quite contrary - I wish AI did not exist or at least that the progress would plateau.
> I Wonder why?
Because I don't want to die.
> Tell us who you work for.
I suspect you want to imply I work for OAI or other lab - I don't. If I did, I wonder why would I want to lie* that technology I develop could kill my investors. I could ask who YOU work for - what interest do you have in downplaying dangers of AI?
* here we assume that people who say AI could be extremely dangerous are lying and not actually believing it - personally I believe that they don't lie and actually believe it. Why do they keep working on this technology then? Read mails between Musk and Altman from decade ago.
The person (bot? troll?) is seemingly incapable of introspection on the issue, something they'd accuse AI of not having.
A lot of these people say we're just talking "science fiction", but they have the cause and effect backwards. Sci-fi talks about different versions of killer AI or killer robots often because of how completely predictable it is.
Heh, if we die later than sooner I'd not be surprised if all these green accounts are actually bot networks trying to downplay us controlling them in the future.
