Bonecondor · x · 2026-09-09
Evan Hubinger said on X that he earnestly believes AI could kill all humans, personally assigning >10% probability within the next decade. He admits Anthropic is trying its best but has no plan to solve superintelligence alignment and is not clearly on track.
The statement reignited debate: critics compared the rhetoric to the FTX saga, while supporters argued the safetyists are simply stating genuine beliefs.
