Videos and podcasts play in their own players, from two seconds before each line. Articles and documents are read aloud by an AI voice from ElevenLabs, reading only the words already on each yank's page, or by your device's own voice if you choose it. It keeps playing if you go to another page.
Google DeepMind AI Researcher: I'm not saying that extinction is inevitable
A Google DeepMind safety researcher speaks candidly about extinction risk, misaligned AI motivations, and why she stays inside the lab despite knowing the public should be suspicious of exactly that.
- “The guarantees we have that these alien minds are aligned to us are very slim.”
- If a model was actually misaligned but strategic enough to realize it is being tested, these tests give us very little assurance that the model is good to deploy.
- You absolutely should be suspicious of what I'm saying because I am being paid by the lab — and there's a fair amount of motivated reasoning going on as well.
- The main thing I want is that they can continue not thinking about AI — just live their lives as they're used to. I see that as the responsibility of those of us who have the opportunity to influence technology.
- I'm not necessarily saying that extinction is inevitable or that it's impossible. I just feel like humanity really doesn't know, and we should be able to rule out these risks before we proceed.
