How many of the signatories have used their expertise, their influence, their resources to rigourously analyze and expose the risks of current AI systems, and to build solutions that address real harms? That is what we need. Not letters, headlines and inflammatory statements.
We’ve released a statement on the risk of extinction from AI.
Signatories include:
- Three Turing Award winners
- Authors of the standard textbooks on AI/DL/RL
- CEOs and Execs from OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Google DeepMind, Anthropic
- Many more

A lot, actually. From a glance at the list, just sticking to people I know personally that do practical safety research: Me, Phil Thomas, Anca Dragan, Jacob Steinhardt, Vincent Conitzer, Scott Aaronson, Dylan Hadfield-Menell, Sam Bowman, David Krueger, Been Kim, + many more.

Indeed, there are people in the list doing really good work on this. This is what we should amplify!

The fact that solutions that address real harms is good isn't a good argument against this letter

Let's be real: AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) is on the horizon. It's not a matter of 'if' but 'when'. Our only ticket out? Extinction in the next few years, but let's not go there! 😅
With AGI, we're not just opening Pandora's…

Would you agree there problem with AI isn’t technical? Seems it’s the complexity of life and intelligence itself. More like a natural force. So far papers and conversations like this is all there is - it’s ephemeral and only builds on itself in a organic linear way.

, led by
@DanHendrycks
, are true leaders in this space!
Many signatories - including those from OpenAI, Anthropic, & DeepMind - have invested serious resources to control current systems
I believe the results they are seeing from those efforts inspire this statement!

Imagine that some times in the 1930's there was a bunch of physicists and activists concerned that nuclear research might lead to weapons that might threaten our survival as a species.

You're concerns are valid, but I disagree with the overall tone of your tweet. It's hard to get a high-powered group to even talk. Yes, we need specific solutions. But to get there, we also need 1st steps - gain contact, agree to talk, agree to issue a vague joint statement, etc.

Why not both?
What is inflammatory about this letter? It seems genuinely good to me. The topic needs way more attention and resources!
