The contagion of fear

Bryan Cantrill:

this week, ex-Anthropic employee Jacob Coxon claimed  […] that the probability that AI will "kill all humans" is ">10% in the next decade" (!!) […]

how would that happen? […] Jacob Coxon cites "hacking critical infrastructure" and "extinction-level bioweapons" without further elaboration. But Coxon is not an expert on critical infrastructure, nor on bioweapons — nor, for that matter, on extinction.

Silicon Valley’s mantra should be: You Can Just Do Say Things.

It is incumbent upon us to be circumspect in our claims

Remember when people were held accountable for the things they claimed? Good times.
