The "statement on AI risk" signed by a bunch of big names is literally one sentence: "Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war."

They might as well have said hot dogs are sandwiches. Wholly useless.

@maxkennerly well it’s easier and more convenient for them to talk about this future amorphous theoretical AI risk rather than focus on actual current harms. In fact, they talk about possible regulation to somehow prevent this vague AI threat, yet are staunch critics of any proposed regulation to address their products. How curious! /s
