A.I. Doomsday Panic Is Completely Out of Control

Karl Bode:

Earlier this month a 27-year-old who had been employed at Anthropic for all of four months declared he was quitting the software company because he believed that software automation poses an existential risk to humankind. The problem is – and shockingly the ad-based clickbait press didn’t do a very good job explaining this to anyone – there is no actual evidence that software automation is on the cusp of gaining full human awareness and soylent greening the entire eastern seaboard.

Oh, how I love a righteous rant.
