Given what they actually do, I have trouble believing that they actually want to prevent said apocalypse
It is kind of amazing what a huge failure his "prevent the AI apocalypse" project has been at accomplishing anything that is supposed to be a goal

AI doom or not, something has shifted with AI recently. The guardrails that kept AI sitting in a chatbox are gone, the models are better, there's more compute.
AI agents are everywhere. They are annoying as hell. IMO the situation is going to get much worse

There’s a 100% Chance AI Agents Are Already Ruining the Internet
“AI agents” now have enough power and permission to be extremely annoying online.

AI co's to society: "Hi, I'm new to the neighborhood. I'm loud and disruptive, I'll take everything I can grab, build hideous buildings nearby, hog water and electricity, and drive up bills, so you pay for it. I'll take your job and possibly kill you. I hope you give me a warm welcome!"

Few really trust the industry, or the safety advocates who come from deep inside it.

The Real Reason Obama’s Harsh Warning to Dems About AI Is So Unnerving
Most Democrats have more or less the right position on AI. But their arguments are way too narrow to dramatize the real stakes. They should aim higher.
