> In all seriousness, if practical AI development is potentially an extinction-level risk, it should simply cease. In all seriousness, it isn't, at least not in a way that's different from the risks of general purpose computing. Social media (anything that let's humanity interact at a scale we aren't prepared for), biological (disease) research, nuclear weapons, inadequate asteroid and tsunami preparedness, etc are actual risks, it's ridiculous and dangerous to put computers in the same category, this is a manufactured panic to sell chatbots.
