Responding to Dario Amodei's claim that the AI industry has underplayed its risks, Tyler Harper argues the opposite is true: the industry has spent years pushing breathless hysteria about AI-induced extinction, calling it the cornerstone of their PR strategy and Amodei's framing "a brazen untruth." Gary Marcus retweeted in agreement. The exchange highlights the ongoing tension between frontier labs' doom narratives and accusations that they weaponize safety talk.
