> I signed on to a short group statement, coordinated by the Center for AI Safety > The press coverage has been extensive, and surprising to me. The New York Times headline is “A.I. Poses ‘Risk of Extinction,’ Industry Leaders Warn.” BBC: “Artificial intelligence could lead to extinction, experts warn.” Other headlines are similar I wish we would put this level of urgency and worry into addressing human suffering in the world instead of thinking of self-serving self-aggrandizing fantastic sci-fi futures that are just distracting us from the current reality of society A lot more people suffer and will suffer everyday from inequality, health issues and loneliness than anything that any AI will do to them in their lives
