Like we're facing an issue of rogue AI systems.

And now they're not that competent, so at worst we can sometimes pull the plug and they might do some damage.

But as companies make them better and better and integrate them across the economy,

the situation will become more and more dangerous.

This is why top AI experts, Nobel Prize winners, and some of these AI CEOs themselves have said that AI poses an extinction risk to humanity.

This is again, not from the chatbots we have right now.

It's from superintelligence, the technology that these companies are developing.

Yeah, and I completely understand it.

And I think part of this is because AI companies are spending millions of dollars, sometimes hundreds of millions of dollars, to keep the public and politicians in the dark about the full extent of what they are building.

And the full extent is, again, what they call

superintelligence, which just goes kind of beyond all of the scenarios that you've described.

It's AI that, much like we're now seeing with these cloud bots, AI that can use computers, AI that can use code to improve itself, AI that can use code to operate machinery, not just on a computer on the internet, but operate robots, operate machinery.

And ultimately, if we give up control over our economy, if we give up control over our national security to AI systems that we do not control as humans,

uh the ais will be the ones in power not humans anymore and that's where those existential scenarios really come into play and these are scenarios that are acknowledged and admitted even by the ceos of these companies and so i think

To put some optimistic perspective in all of this.

However, I don't think the future is written in stone.

People still have a choice.

I think we are going to have to make choices as a society in the next few years of where we go with AI.

And I think a crucial choice will be, do we want AIs to be tools that help us in our work?

Or do we want AIs as machines that replace us across the board?
