@jeffjarvis Hendryks is a newly minted PhD who is a co-director of the Center for AI Safety. The other director is an undergraduate Stanford student. Can't believe anyone would take this seriously.
@rosanita @twitskeptic
Oy. Do you have a link to that Wired story?
@rosanita @jeffjarvis Hadn't seen it, but I think I found it - was it this one? https://www.wired.com/story/runaway-ai-extinction-statement/
@twitskeptic @jeffjarvis Yup. That’s the one.
@twitskeptic @jeffjarvis You took the time to look at the authors’ backgrounds. Not everyone does that. Did you see the Wired article from last week that was built off their AI doomsday prediction?
