Anthropic researcher: >10% chance AI kills all humans within a decade, no alignment plan yet

The core of this retweet chain is a statement from Anthropic researcher Evan Hub: he and colleagues "really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans," and he personally puts the odds at >10% within the next decade. He says Anthropic is trying its best, but "we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to."
The quoted original post is from Rep. Deluzio urging action: no more burying heads in the sand about superintelligence risk—we need to pump the brakes and pursue national-level action, treating it as an emergency. Together the posts show safety-minded researchers and politicians aligning on superintelligence risk.
