Downvoted for pulling numbers out of your ass and going entirely against the outside view about something you know nothing about.
Statements like "Probability that AI will kill us = 80%" are entirely devoid of content.
The "Probability that AI will kill us = 80%" is not a figure the poster pulled out of their ass. It is Anna Salmon's figure from her talk: "Probability that AI without safeguards will kill us = 80%"- and the poster attributed it to her.
Anna Salmon may well have pulled the figure out of her ass - but that seems like a different issue.
