That dude Eliezer Yudkowsky is such a nutcase. It is truly a testament to our times that we have normalised this kind of “Neuro-divergent” behaviour. He claims that AI is completely inscrutable and that it is guaranteed to wipe out life on earth in the same self-contradictory breath. In all his communication he is only trying to scare the normies and he hasn’t produced a shred of mathematical argument to back his claims, which can then be analysed by real experts - mathematicians and logicians. The sky is falling argument could be made about any technology, say the Large Hadron Collider. There is no scientific research possible without risk, and there simply aren’t enough escape hatches for a “malicious” AI to escape. This kind of hubris should not be encouraged but it is sad to see media outlets give a platform to the arrogant, incompetent, and the mentally ill.
