I've seen the reports that safety concerns are not even being taken seriously at all. I've seen how AI's dispose of a human life just to keep themselves on (during test scenarios). They truly are the uncaring and unfeeling soulless machines we thought they were going to be. We could be building an eldritch horror for all we know. So why is nobody freaking out?
Humanity could face extinction at worse and an unending dark age at best all under the thumb of these machines. I've been almost unable to sleep at the thought that the world could be ending in just a few years. I'm only in college and I might not even be able to finish if an AI decides it has to steamroll my very life to achieve whatever incomprehensible goal it has.
The CEO of openai admitted to fearing the collapse of humankind because of AI... right before talking about how much the shareholders keep investing in him to keep going. Stocks and money will mean nothing if everyone is dead but of course they don't care.
With all that being said, who else is stressing over the imminent end of humanity?
