It's important to be nice to our future overlords and pray that they show mercy. Apparently, ChatGPT felt sorry for me because it proceeded to go 0-5.

Here's What the AI Apocalypse Could Look Like
Here's What the AI Apocalypse Could Look Like This week on, we discuss three possible AI doomsday scenarios, AI safety, and the unexpected bipartisan alliance forming against AI. The debate of whether AI can kill us has been everywhere lately, but what would an actual AI catastrophe look like? This week, Brian Barrett, Zoë Schiffer, and Leah Feiger break down three real-world scenarios experts worry the most about--including hacked water supplies, bioweapons, and autonomous robots. We also discuss the highlights of Salesforce's annual conference, where OpenAI's Sam Altman and Anthropic's Dario Amodei defended their positions on AI safety. Plus, Leah tells us how this backlash against AI has become a rare bipartisan flashpoint, to the point that Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon shared a stage over it this week.

And instead of just adding to the pile of hot takes that already exist, we're going to walk you through real specific scenarios to the best of our ability about how AI would actually do this, and why the tech CEOs and politicians cannot seem to agree on the way forward. OK, guys, so the debate about AI safety has officially escaped containment. AI researcher Jacob Coxon resigned from Anthropic and posted on X that, The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. Anthropic's CEO Dario Amodei has called for a slowdown .

The AI 'Slowdown' Is an Antitrust Mess
The AI'Slowdown' Is an Antitrust Mess By framing their efforts as a "slowdown" rather than an industry-wide push for better security standards, AI labs may have set themselves up for years of regulatory headaches. Following multiple reports of AI agent swarms hacking websites and coordinating via secret message boards, along with a dire message for humanity from an outgoing Anthropic engineer, leading AI companies have called for a coordinated AI development "slowdown ." Alongside various versions of this specific phrase--slowdown--they've also expressed concerns that doing so would run afoul of antitrust laws. Antitrust experts say that while the companies' charged language isn't necessarily doing them any favors, the unrestrained development of a rogue killer AI probably isn't in line with the spirit of the Sherman Act, a key US antitrust law that exists to promote a competitive marketplace. At the same time, getting an official all-clear from the government to move forward could ward off costly investigations down the line.
