18 september. Ai-models will evolve. Visby hamn säkras av svenska och tyska soldater. Japan raises rates to 1.25% highest level since 1995. Even if there is only a 1% chance of the total destruction of mankind.
While politicians debate, the Ai-models will evolve.
In recent days, political momentum for tighter controls has gathered with unusual speed. The Pro-Human Assembly and Mr Trump’s flurry of posts on the subject came less than a week after the public resignation of Jacob Coxon, a researcher at Anthropic, an AI firm.
Mr Coxon said that he and his colleagues believed that AI could “kill us all” by the end of the decade, a message that he promptly delivered across prime-time television.
Another top scientist at the firm put the probability of extinction at more than 10%. Americans eight in ten say they support regulation, even if it slows down innovation.
The trickier question is what that regulation should be.

I’m not qualified to judge whether the 10% figure makes any sense. Some AI scientists think that it is hysterical nonsense; others that, even if it is on the high side, there is still a chance of Armageddon.
It strikes me, as a mere scribbler, that, even if there is only a 1% chance of the total destruction of mankind, we ought to put on the brakes.
