The AI Insider Who Risked $2 Million to Warn Us

One AI researcher risked two million dollars to warn the world about what AI companies are really building: a machine smarter than every human, possibly before 2030. In this video we explain, in simple pictures, how modern AI is "grown" instead of programmed, why AI companies are trying to automate themselves first, the two biggest dangers (losing control and extreme concentration of power), why nobody hits the brakes, and Plan A, a slower and safer path forward. Which future do you think we're heading for: the race, or Plan A? Tell us in the comments.
