YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA former OpenAI researcher says there is a 70% chance that artificial intelligence goes horribly wrong. Not a 7% chance, which is what some AI CEOs say publicly. 70%. Daniel Kokotajlo, who walked away from $2 million at OpenAI rather than stay silent, explains why the people building the most powerful technology in human history have "genuinely convinced themselves that probably things are going to be fine" despite knowing the risks.
He describes a dynamic he watched unfold from inside OpenAI. Each company is racing against the others. Sam Altman is thinking he cannot let Dario or Elon get there first. Dario is thinking Sam cannot get there first. Elon is thinking the same about both of them. Each one has convinced themselves that the safest outcome is for THEM to be the one in charge when superintelligence arrives. Daniel calls this rationalization: people believe what they need to believe in order to think they are good people doing the right thing.
