Original caption

Sam Altman really said AI will “most likely lead to the end of the world”… but hey, at least there’ll be some great companies. 🤝 Imagine saying the technology you’re building could wipe us out, then immediately pivoting to shareholder value. This is exactly why people are skeptical. The people racing to build AI keep warning us about catastrophic risks while asking us to trust them with accelerating it anyway. Maybe we should focus a little less on creating trillion-dollar AI companies and a little more on making sure humanity actually has a future. The priorities are unbelievable.
