Look, I hate AI as much as the next guy, but this article is pointless fear mongering and is based on a flawed understanding of current AI architecture.
Sounds a bit like those Anthropic researchers who keep finding new ways Claude did something unexpected and scary every other week.
We don't care whether you're scared or amazed : TALK ABOUT IT.
As soon as I saw the word "existential", red flags went up for me, too. I looked, and of course, this is a piece of propaganda molded by a think tank.
I'm kind of impressed how paranoid this piece is. I saw some MSM articles about "AIs making a religion" when these "religion"s were described and then discarded, but apparently whoever wrote this just assumed you'd been fed your media slop already, and he could focus on the doomsday scenario.
