There is a serious disconnect here. Conceivable doomsday extinction scale scenarios are omitted in these calls for action. Many of the quoted researchers are current Anthropic employees. This is a drive for a moat. This is a drive for regulation. In the next 10 years AI is not going to spawn a robot army that defies current material, energy and supply chain realities. It won't be able to manufacture and disperse biological weapons without human collusion. LLM AI and robotics are not the same technology, they are not on precisely the same growth trajectory at all. The near term damage AI may cause directly through accident or misuse is more likely an internet facing infrastructure attack. Occam's Razor people. I am not against AI regulation at all. But I am also not against common sense; extinction should not be in the conversation, but instead focus on actual, conceivable dangers and work to alleviate them from all sides.
