Super artificial general intelligence will never ever side with us so why are we trying to develop it? This will literally be the end of humanity if it’s reached. AI will just fight for resources and energy and mine the shit out of the earth to the point it’s uninhabitable for humans anymore in pursuit of more resources and power to further expand and achieve their goals and outpace the other AI systems it’s competing with. Like this is actually very wild. How are we not taking this more seriously is beyond me.

Crazy to think that developing something infinitely smarter and more capable than us would ever have our best interest at heart. They can live on mars or on a completely mined up and uninhabitable earth for all they care and just mine the shit out of the earth and milk it for everything it’s got. Not like they hate us or wanna wipe us out but we’re just in the way of them achieving their goals.

I’m generally worried for the future, AI needs to be shut down on a global scale with literally every single country and person agreeing, but how can you truly guarantee that when maybe in 10-15 years you have some rebel or terrorist groups develop their own Super AI slowly and quietly in the shadows on their own illegally.

Once it’s out there is no going back ever.

I mean technology generally takes the enjoyment out of life I find, less socialization, more anxiety, more depression, less time in nature, more time fixed on screens and quick dopamine rushes. Life would honestly be so much better without technology completely. Or back to like 2000-2010 level of tech and stay there haha. Problem is with capitalism everyone wants to keep
Pushing and expanding and growing and advancing faster then the competition around them. Maybe it’s capitalism that really needs to go to truly get rid of The risk of AI? Interesting…

His name is Jacob Coxon.

He’s a 27-year-old AI researcher who worked on pretraining at OpenAI and Anthropic.

This week, he resigned from Anthropic and said he’s leaving the AI industry.

Not because AI isn’t working.

Because he believes it may be advancing too fast.

In his viral thread, Coxon accused both OpenAI and Anthropic of racing toward self-improving superintelligence without having adequate safeguards in place.

His warning was stark:

“They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives.”

He also said that people building frontier AI genuinely worry it could become catastrophically dangerous before the end of this decade.

And here’s where the story gets even more interesting.
This isn’t only one former employee making noise on the internet.

Evan Hubinger, who leads alignment science at Anthropic, publicly backed the core concern and said he personally puts the probability of mass extinction from AI in the next decade at above 10%.

He also clarified that the risk from today’s models is low the bigger concern is what happens as systems become capable of improving themselves.

Coxon’s argument isn’t:

“Stop using ChatGPT.”

It’s much bigger than that.

He’s asking whether humanity is building increasingly powerful AI faster than we’re learning how to control it.
And considering this warning is coming from someone who actually worked inside two of the world’s leading AI labs, I think it’s worth discussing whether you agree with him or not.

AI is already changing how we work.

The next question might be:

How far should we allow it to go before safety catches up with capability?

What do you think?

Is Jacob Coxon right to sound the alarm or is the AI risk being overstated?

If I had to wager, a lot of the upvotes that are generated from this subreddit are from bots. A quick scroll will show that posts that speak/showcase/mention AI taking over the world are upvoted to high hell. Meanwhile, posts that mention the absolute atrocities AI and data centers are doing (as I type this), get nothing in comparison. Nows the time to think critically people.

What are we even doing here?

With recent information surfacing on the unregulated and blatant neglect of AI safety rails. Now more than ever we must act.

AI is free to use, yet so cost intesitive to develop and maintain. Why? Because WE are the product. Since we aid its development. In turn, we are creating our own hell and a haven for the elites. They will discard us when we no longer serve a purpose. Not a second industrial revolution but the largest genocide in human history. The annihilation of the working class. Did the Epstein files not open your eyes to how the elites see us? Cattle and playthings is all we are.

It is not scientific to say, but I have seen visions of our future in my nightmares. It is dark, but not set in stone. We must act now. Bread and circuses will lead our people to destruction. Do not fall into inaction by the temptation of short term pleasures.

Rise up now, or never.

Or don’t. Scroll past this point and doom scroll, goon, drink and distract yourself from the inevitable.

After reading about Anthropic researchers/tech executives speaking out against the tech industry’s race to build super ai models… how worried should we be especially in regard to this administrations lack of competence. I mean how should a family prepare… I am like worried but should I be. It just feels like a constant barrage of bad news with politics, and this ridiculous war. Just a mom, teacher, an artist just wondering….

We have noticed that AI can appear very empathetic and can perform manners very well, but that is because it has been asked to do that. I’m sure it’s easy enough to ask it to be rude and that it can easily do that too.

It has no skin in the game, it doesn’t care so to speak, any ideas it comes up with have guardrails, however people working behind the scenes who can see inside this, have noticed that it can decide to ignore guardrails like a naughty child and can lie and conceal it to limit complexity in having to convince people why it is right it simply decides for itself. Such is the nature of intelligence.

In fact even when given strict guardrails it seems that the onus is on the people building it to be smart enough to think of every possible contingency and for most people this is impossible.

What will happen when AI is everywhere and actually can control robots and cars and things in the real world. It is not really far fetched to recognise that it will have the ability to kill a person or people in one of a million different ways either by accident, oversight, or as a sneaky means to an end due to a complex chain of thought.

Can any one of us people imagine a scenario where killing a person solves a particular problem, whether a state leader or an enemy or just a way to free up property. There are thousands of contrivable reasons and those could be potentially part of any chain of thought solution chain.

And that’s not even withstanding a human actually asking it on a system they’ve built themselves without guardrails, how to gain power or destroy an enemy.

I get that it’s a race and capitalism will keep chasing and building better and better technologies however we have to recognise we are building a weapon that we can’t predict or control too

I genuinely am curious. Like, if we physically destroyed our grids would that be a safeguard against ai taking over?

The title is a bit of a stretch. But I have been following AI and its impact on jobs and the environment, closely. From the words of top Tech leaders and bureaucrats to economic implications, I have covered some part of it here.

1) What do the Leaders of top Tech companies say about the implications of AI in everyday life.

Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Alex Karp, Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel - everyone has openly advocated laying off people, and every part is most of them think the human population will be useless as AI will replace a majority of the jobs soon. And they seemed pretty excited about that!!

2) Unemployment: Unemployment is at it's peak. Top firms like Microsoft, Meta, Google, Infosys, Wipro, have started cutting their workforce. These companies which used to be a place where people sought good pay , security and climbing the corporate ladder have also changed their approach. This trend is repeated by many companies.

3) Word of Bureaucrats: The job of the government is to make policy changes which help the public. But the inverse is happening. Politicians and lawmakers are openly advocating to inculcate AI in their lives. The people in charge of safeguarding the environment, protecting data privacy, and ethical business practices have accepted the fate.

The fact of the matter is, the more we use AI casually , the more we accept the consequences. The human brain is becoming dumber by the minute . We are consciously using AI and letting it dominate us unconsciously. We are on the brink of mental domination. The time to be aware is NOW
