People are making a ton of different AI models, and a lot of them are showing incredible breakthroughs in intelligence. They don't all have to all decide to go rogue and try to kill us all- it just takes one. Probably one originally designed for military use- to kill.

yeah good point. once we have continually optimized to kill ai that are also superintelligent it only takes a small amount to go rogue to kill everyone. but I don't think it will happen suddenly. would be a gradual ratchet, with each step looking justified but the overall trajectory being disastrous.

We're literally promoting the unchecked development of a technology that may bring about The Matrix because we don't want to fall behind in a pointless rivalry with chinks across the world who don't especially hate us much or think about us or even really have antagonistic interests to us (nor we them). Of course if shit's looking like an Us vs. Them situation then we'll fight to the death. What's happening in Gaza will look like a spa, etc.
And yeah we've eradicated species, incl. charismatic large fauna, from the earth for far more trivial/accidental reasons.

Could kill us all or will kill us all? I mean, if the standard is "could", let's go ahead and bump that up to 99.999% for the near future. Now whether it WILL... just be nice, that's all I'm saying.
