Sam Altman can bet right now. If he truly believes in this risk, he could bet his entire company, shut everything down, and lobby for a complete ban on AI research. If the outcome is certain death, this seems like a great bet to make.

I watched his interview with Lex Fridman,[1] and I didn't think he seemed very sincere. On the other hand I think there are a lot of people who are very sincere, like Max Tegmark.[2] [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_Guz73e6fw&pp=ygUWbGV4IGZyaWRtYW4gc2FtIGFsdG1hbg%3D%3D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_Guz73e6fw&pp=ygUWbGV4IGZya...
