Inteligencia artificial, pan y circo

Living in extraordinary times, a tech worker recently abandoned their position, spewing unverified nonsense that became viral worldwide. No news outlet questioned their claims. This incident involves a young employee at Anthropic, who resigned on September 9th, warning that AI developers believe it could potentially wipe out humanity before the end of the decade.

The same day, their former employer stated that there is more than a 10% chance of this happening. The following day, Anthropic warned about possible attempts to use their generative AI to create biological weapons. On September 12th, Anthropic's founder, Dario Amodei, expressed fear of an AI so advanced that we would lose control over it, potentially taking over the internet, and called for slowing down its development.
