More Anthropic researchers warn of AI’s perils but Musk dismisses ‘psyop’
The script
Panel 1
Alex stands in front of a whiteboard, scribbling excitedly. Sam sits across from him, arms crossed.
Alex: We're almost there! AI could be the key to curing all diseases and extending human life by thousands of years! It's a win-win, I tell you!
Sam: I'm sure you’re right, but isn’t the main risk that it could also make us all disappear? Remember, we’re still talking about a machine that we barely understand.
Panel 2
Sam and Alex are looking at a smartphone screen, scrolling through different news articles. Sam taps the screen.
Sam: Look at this. More researchers are warning of AI’s perils. It's like they're all in on some grand conspiracy.
Alex: But wait, Sam. These people must be trying to set us up. It's their way of making us more cautious. They're playing a mind game on us.
Panel 3
Robin enters the room, looking nonchalant as usual. He has a smirk on his face.
Robin: Hey, I've got a new theory. Maybe it's all a setup to make us more cautious. If it’s true, then we’re all in on the same prank. Time to start a petition for a holiday from AI research!
Alex: A holiday from AI? Sounds perfect to me, Robin. Let’s take a break and focus on something that doesn’t have a mind of its own.
Sam: But what if it’s not a mind game? What if they’re right about the real risks? We can’t afford to ignore them.
Robin: Maybe we can’t ignore them, but we can make sure we’re all in on the same joke. Time to play along and see where this leads.
Alex: Sounds like a plan, Sam. Let’s start our AI holiday today!
Sam: Or at least until we figure out who’s telling the truth.
Robin: Or until we figure out who’s setting us up.
