Potential 6 month warning until the end

[Frombeyond]

So, we potentially only have 6 months until the end of civilised society and mass deaths. I’m terrified and sad

AI staff 'genuinely frightened' for humanity's future, ex-Anthropic researcher tells BBC www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1kx0gyje9wo

Keep it in perspective, he was hardly a universal expert.

Oh give over

um, he is an expert. As is the former head of ethics who resigned saying the same. As is Amodei who is the CEO of Anthropic and Sam Altman who is Open AI CEO.

6 months may not happen, but is 3 years ok then?

There are some proper little rays of sunshine on Mumsnet today 😁☀

How will all the billionaires behind AI make money from us if we're all dead and gone. Will they turn into robots or what.

😂 you are more likely to be hit by a bus.

Oh well I won't bother with the ironing then

Scaremongering

Not much point in starting the diet then

Why do you all think you know better than the ex head of ethics of Anthropic, the current CEO and current head of data science, the CEO of Open AI and the other dozens who’ve recently resigned saying the same thing?

Seriously, I’m interested?

Death by slop?

Don't buy the hype, OP.

Precisely. It why they themselves are asking to put the brakes on. Even bloody Elon Musk has come out and said it has to happen or it will be the end. And he doesn’t give a fuck about much

The end of the world is nigh.

This is an excellent explanation of what’s happening and potential solution.

All the more reason to live for today. None of us know what's round the corner. Healthy people die every day from car accidents, global disasters, freak accidents, murder etc.

I think of poor Ann Widdecombe, who woke up on that fateful day and was murdered by lunch time.

There is no point worrying about things that may or may not happen. Just live in the moment you will be so much happier.

I’ll pop it in the diary

Heard it all before.
Absolutely nothing will happen.

I’m sorry you are getting such dismissive answers, @Frombeyond .

I am scared.

And I feel resentful that people looking to be uber rich and powerful have taken these risks as if our lives don’t matter at all. There seems to be no accountability. We were not consulted, no permission was given.

Where’s Linda Hamilton when we need her?

Theres absolutely diddly squat I can do to affect the result of this OP, so I’m going to get on with enjoying my life and just have to see how it pans out.

Surely if you think they know best you’d be getting some high limit credit cards, quitting work and go on great holidays for the rest of the time you have alive .

You can’t control it, so don’t spend any of your mental energy worrying about it.

In all seriousness, bloody great idea 💡

I agree with you @EveryoneUsingOutro , in that there is nothing we can do and worrying about it won’t make any difference. The best thing we can do is try not to let it get us down.

It’s a hard thing to discuss in real life. Yet we’ve all heard the news. We all know what’s been said.

I’ll stop panicking about mortgage rates then

Ffs find yourself a hobby, utterly ridiculous doom merchant.
