AI Haven't A Clue · IS THIS THE END OF THE WORLD?! THE AI APOCALYPSE: WHAT’S TRUE, WHAT’S HYPE? · 16 Sep 2026 podcast

You reach a point where the technology is getting better quicker than we can wrap our arms around it. matched

And that's when you get into this kind of sort of, you know, Skynet Terminator type stuff that some people have been getting very animated about. matched

So this isn't just someone who got a bit disgruntled with Anthropic and people and has kind of left and shared a nasty social media post. matched

There's something kind of bigger there. matched

This then went up a gear. matched

Later in the week, the following day, a guy called Evan Hubbinger, he leads research at Anthropic. matched

So he still works there. matched

He works on something called AI alignment. matched

It sounds technical. matched

It basically means that if we want to build AIs that are matched

much more powerful, we need to make sure that it keeps doing what we actually want it to do and it doesn't kind of go off the rails. matched

He has come out publicly and has said, we really do earnestly believe that AI could kill all humans. matched

In his own estimate, he says that there's more than a 10% chance of that happening in the next decade. matched

It does seem at odds because his job is basically to keep the most powerful AI under human control. matched

This is the guy who's come out and said, well, no, and it's probably going to do something awful. matched

Yeah, well, you're right. matched

They are very publicly going after a public listing. matched

And yeah, there's a whole school of thought, which is saying, you know, they're puffing up their own price every time they say that it's hacked out of something or, oh, God, this model is so powerful, we can't even give it to you. matched

You know, that does feed this narrative. matched
