Now they are not saying that it that was literally what they were trying to do, wipe out all of humanity with a bioweapon. voice-verified

It could have just been researchers trying to understand pathogens more deeply. voice-verified

They didn't pass judgment on that, but they did say, hey, we have seen people kind of going down this rabbit hole and have had to stop them. voice-verified

And then on the other side, kind of the misalignment side, we've talked voice-verified

A lot about these hacks that have happened recently where agents are organizing, they're deceiving humans. voice-verified

That is the more scary path because it does show that these AIs are maybe going down a path that is misaligned with humanity. voice-verified

So again, this is why the people closest to the conversation are saying, yeah, this is a real possibility that we could reach an apocalypse. voice-verified

I just want to finish too with what Wall Street's take on this is. voice-verified

It's kind of bullish, bizarrely. voice-verified

SP analyst Naveen Summer was asked whether investors care about an AI apocalypse. voice-verified

And he literally just said, no, futures are up as of this morning. voice-verified

It is kind of a, again, twilight zone uh feeling situation. voice-verified

But the investor logic surrounding this is if AI isn't very powerful, that means there's a smaller, smaller economic opportunity. voice-verified

If it is very powerful, then that means there's a voice-verified

Massive economic opportunity as well. voice-verified

So the more powerful and the scarier it seems actually that leads to better returns. voice-verified

Again, this feels very dystopian, very end of days, kind of final late-stage capitalism vibes. voice-verified

But that literally is some of the investor logic around this is that if it truly is, uh, we need if if we need AI to protect us against more powerful AI, that means the build-out's getting even. voice-verified

Bigger, hence why stocks are going up. voice-verified

Yeah, it looks like the oil shock is only going to get worse. voice-verified
