Not all AI workers think the tech could kill everyone

SO THE OFFICIAL VERSION IS THIS A BUNCH OF TECH WORKERS REPLIED TO DOOMSDAY WARNINGS WITH LOL AND HAAAAAA WHICH MADE ME PUT MY DRINK DOWN BECAUSE CERTAIN FIGURES SAY AI WILL DESTROY HUMANITY BUT ACTUAL INSIDERS ARE LITERALLY LAUGHING. SO FORMER ANTHROPIC WORKER JACOB COXON WENT VIRAL WARNING THAT FUTURE AI AGENTS COULD CREATE BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS AND PEOPLE LIKE ELON MUSK WARN AI COULD ENDANGER PEOPLE BUT WORKERS FROM OPENAI, META AND DEEPMIND TOLD THE BBC THE SCENARIOS ARE VAGUE HYPOTHETICAL JUMPS WITH NO PROOF AND A META SCIENTIST NAMED COLIN FRASER STRAIGHT UP POSTED THAT LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS WILL NOT WIPE OUT HUMANITY BECAUSE THEY JUST DO NOT HAVE THAT DOG IN THEM WHICH IS WILD. OK I AM GOING TO GO SHOUT AT A WALL.

GENUINELY WHAT IS HAPPENING TODAY INSIDE THE BIGGEST TECH FIRMS LIKE OPENAI AND META AND DEEPMIND WHICH MATTERS BECAUSE THEY ARE LITERALLY BUILDING THE MODELS EVERYONE CLAIMS WILL END US AND THE THING IS NOBODY WORKING ON THEM ACTUALLY BUYS THE HYPE AND RISHUB JAIN WHO SPENT SEVEN YEARS AT DEEPMIND BEFORE FOUNDING SAMPURA RESEARCH SAYS EVERYONE ON THE INSIDE THINKS IT IS RIDICULOUS AND JOKEY BECAUSE THESE DOOM WARNINGS HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR DECADES AND ANONYMOUS STAFF TOLD THE BBC THAT VIRAL TALK ABOUT AGENTS MAKING BIOWEAPONS HAS ZERO SPECIFICS AND MASSIVE JUMPS IN REASONING PLUS A META SCIENTIST NAMED COLIN FRASER SAYS LLMS WILL NOT WIPE OUT HUMANITY BECAUSE THEY JUST DO NOT HAVE THAT DOG IN THEM WHICH MAKES COMPLETE SENSE TO MY BRAIN RIGHT NOW. ANYWAY I AM GOING TO GO THINK ABOUT MY LIFE.

Current and former workers from OpenAI, Meta, and DeepMind dismissed viral doomsday warnings about AI, calling claims that the technology could wipe out humanity vague and exaggerated.
