Anthropic researcher EvanHub says the company earnestly believes AI could kill all humans, personally estimating the risk at over 10% within the next decade.
He admits Anthropic is trying its best but has no plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and is "not clearly on track" to do so. The quoter frames it with a dark joke about clocking in at the apocalypse factory.
