Nate So8res breaks 'How would AI kill us?' into three distinct questions
ESYudkowsky · x · 2026-09-21
Nate So8res, former OpenAI researcher, argues the question 'How would AI kill us?' is actually three separate questions: how AI would defang humanity, how it would become self-sufficient before defanging us, and how it would kill the last humans. He notes all three are independent of the distinct question of why AI would kill us. Shared by Eliezer Yudkowsky.
