What real risk? What models?
Climate change is not a useful parallel because changing weather has an actual impact on human safety. No one can articulate the risks that AGI would pose beyond speculative fiction. It's going to clone itself to every device and turn us into paperclips by emailing an on-demand gene printing lab to make a super virus!! Sure, whatever man.
Just because you can say the words "X is similar to Y" does not make it true. This applies to comparisons with nuclear weapons, guns, climate change, et al. I understand how all of those things can kill me. No one has made a reasonable argument for how an LLM could harm me, much less an argument convincing enough to justify the regulatory capture sought by these companies.
