markk quips that "the probability of getting killed by a raging mob of doomers is higher than that of getting killed by AI," joking about "terrorist acts by extreme AI doomer cells." The quoted post by misraetel argues extinction risk from AI is near-zero and lower than humanity's risk without advanced AI, so he's pro-superintelligence and trusts frontier labs (OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Google, Meta) more than governments. A typical safety-vs-acceleration spat in AI circles.
