Anthropic employee: <5% on x-risk this decade, 20-30% on mass unemployment

His estimates—under 5% on x-risk events in the next decade from AI, but roughly 20-30% on mass unemployment and significant suffering as a consequence. The retweeter notes the post flew under the radar and that other Anthropic employees also believe in some level of near-term doom.
