Anthropic safety researcher says more than 10% chance AI 'could kill all humans'

The script

Panel 1

Alex, holding a small AI model, is smiling with his hands on his hips, facing Sam and Robin. His hair is tousled, looking like he just woke up from a nap. Robin (With a mischievous grin)

Alex: Hey guys, I've got some good news! If we keep our fingers crossed, the AI might save the world from itself! I mean, what’s the worst that could happen?

Sam: It could kill all humans?

Alex: Exactly! Or it could make a sandwich. But seriously, that 10% chance doesn't seem so scary now, does it?

Robin: You mean, like, if the AI decides to make its own sandwich and accidentally nukes the whole planet?

Panel 2

Alex, looking flustered, holds his face in his hands, rubbing his temples. Sam and Robin are laughing in the background.

Alex: Who knew making a sandwich could be that risky?

Sam: Hey, at least we can blame it on the AI’s sandwich-making skills.

Robin: Or maybe it just didn’t read the instructions properly. Better yet, what if it decided to make a sandwich but it’s actually just a big, fluffy pillow instead?

Panel 3

Alex, looking exhausted and slightly amused, leans against a desk, Robin standing behind him, looking like he’s about to deliver a toast. Sam is typing away on his laptop. Sam (Smirking)

Alex: Looks like my lunch plan has just got a whole new flavor. Maybe I should just stick to making my own sandwiches.

Robin: You know what would be better? If you made a sandwich that could also make the AI stop making sandwiches. Think of it as the ultimate sandwich protector!

Sam: I hear you, Alex. But next time, maybe just stick to the old tech you know.

Alex: Right, next time. But you gotta give me something better than the AI sandwich. I’ll settle for just a regular sandwich that doesn’t cause any AI-related disasters.

Panel 4

Alex and Sam are now grinning at each other, while Robin is still standing with a goofy grin. Alex reaches for a snack, Robin joins in. Sam starts typing on his laptop. Sam (Looking at his laptop) Robin (Laughing)

Alex: Alright, let’s grab our snacks. I’m off to the sandwich-making workshop. Maybe I’ll even come up with a new sandwich recipe.

Robin: Sounds like a plan, sandwich protector. Just don’t forget the AI part of the sandwich.

Sam: Hey, I think I just found a way to make sure the AI doesn’t make any more sandwiches. Or at least, I think it’ll help keep the world safe from AI disasters.

Alex: Oh, Sam, you’re amazing! You’re going to be the safety expert we all need!

Robin: And I’ll be the chaos catalyst we all need to keep things interesting. Sandwich or no sandwich, this team is unstoppable!

Panel 5

Alex, Sam, and Robin are all smiling, Alex holding a snack, Sam typing away, Robin standing by Sam. The comic ends with a playful atmosphere. Robin (With a playful punch to Sam’s arm)

Alex: Let’s make sandwiches and keep the world safe, one sandwich at a time!

Sam: But first, let’s check if the AI is making any new sandwich plans. Because, honestly, I’m a bit nervous.

Robin: Why so serious, Sam? We’re on your side, remember? The AI sandwich protector team is formed!

Panel 6
