AI poses unprecedented threats. Congress must act now | Bernie Sanders

Double standards. State media.
When I read the full transcript of the interview, I realized there had been no pushback, no corrections, no challenging follow-ups. The entire interview had been an open-ended opportunity for Trump to tell rambling lies, only to have them cleaned up into a more polished product.

When the most optimistic AI researchers believe there's a significant chance AGI leads to very bad things for humanity, it's time to step back.
Note: these guys are not the optimists.
We're rushing toward a threshold and we don't know where it is, which step will be too far.
