Sam Altman and Dario Amodei spoke at the UN Security Council. Amodei said that four years ago AI could barely write a line of code, while today it writes most of Anthropic's code and solves famous unsolved math problems, calling AI "the most important global security issue facing the world today." Altman warned "we could lose control of the future to AI." The author weighs skepticism that AI leaders hype risk for attention and funding, but argues serious warnings deserve to be taken seriously as capabilities grow.
