The people who think as you think indeed have left or never joined. The people still there necessarily think they can make a difference. I never applied to any of them because I didn't think I could make a difference. I currently have one idea that may help reduce risk; if I can turn that idea into research, I'll publish it for free for everyone. I don't expect it to be an important idea. > Recall Google’s Blake Lemoine who thought an old version of Gemini was sentient. Indeed. Current LLMs are sychopants boosting the users' own beliefs, I also think this causes researchers to have stronger beliefs than they had before. My own estimation happens to also be around this risk (0.1) over my lifetime, without using an LLM as a conversation partner in reaching this number. It is necessarily high-variance: we can't look at alternate realities. I base it on my expectation of how rapidly capabilities will increase the harm done when mistakes happen, vs. the chance that some instance of harm causes governments to change the law.
