Could AI Really 'Kill us all'?

from Resistance is Futile Hosted by Business Film Booth

A 27-year-old researcher quits Anthropic warning that AI could “kill us all by the end of the decade”. Within days the lab bosses are all calling for a slowdown, as if on cue. Dave smells a rat. Jamie is already building a bunker in the garden. So is this a genuine fire alarm, or a very clever way to shut the door behind you? Dave makes the case for regulatory capture, Jamie crunches Anthropic’s eye-watering IPO numbers, and the pair go toe to toe on whether a doomsday machine can survive when nobody’s sipping the Kool-Aid Along the way: Xero’s login screen as the ultimate AI kill switch, robots that need deodorant, the vanishing graduate job, and a bold new benchmark to replace the Turing test. If it can make a soufflé, it can do anything. Grab a spoon.
