EvanHub stated that people at Anthropic "earnestly believe AI could kill all humans," putting his personal estimate at over 10% within the next decade. He says Anthropic is trying its best but does not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and is "not clearly on track." The retweeting author is skeptical of the panic mood in group chats, calling it fear-mongering LARP, while acknowledging the sincerity of the belief.
