"AI: Insiders Are Begging To Stop What They Built And It's Scary"

"AI: Insiders Are Begging To Stop 
What They Built And It's Scary"
"AI builders admit a 10% chance it wipes out humanity. Within this decade. Some of them put it at 70%. No company has a plan to control a system smarter than us. No government has the power to stop one. And not a single lab has slowed down. They are all racing to build it first. Every technology this powerful comes with one question, and it is not whether it works. It is who gets to stop it. Right now, nobody has that job. Each company believes that if it slows down, a rival will not. So none of them slows down, and the race sets the speed. Most warnings in this country come from the bottom up. The people on the receiving end notice first, and the people in charge insist that everything is fine. This warning runs the other way. The alarm is coming from the people who build the thing, and the reassurance is coming from people who have never been in the room. That should change how you weigh it.

What this video covers: • An AI researcher quits Anthropic before his stock vests, warning the technology could kill us all. • The insiders who back him: more than a 10% chance of human extinction within the decade. • An ex-OpenAI insider's 70% extinction odds, and why the labs keep building anyway. • How AI could actually wipe out humanity: misalignment, deception, resisting shutdown. • The paperclip maximizer, and why an off switch might not be enough. • Ordinary people who have never been this scared, and still have to clock in tomorrow. • Why the race to superintelligence doesn't stop, even when the builders sound the alarm.

Every clip is a real person, filmed on their own phone, in their own words. Nothing here is staged. There is nothing yet to measure. No one can show you the accident before it happens. What you can see is the money. Every company in this race spends more each year on bigger systems, and every dollar spent is a dollar that has to be earned back. That pressure does not pause for a warning. Safety costs time, and time is exactly what a race does not allow. So the warnings get louder and the systems get bigger, and both are true at once. Who do you think should be in a position to act if they turn out to be right? Put it below."
