builderjaydub · x · 2026-09-09
An Anthropic employee (EvanHub) publicly stated that the team earnestly believes AI could kill all humans, personally estimating the odds at over 10% within the next decade. He says Anthropic is trying its best but has no plan yet to solve alignment for superintelligence and isn't clearly on track.
A replying commentator argued that a functioning society would lock up people working on such technology in maximum-security prisons, calling the situation insane.
