Superb as always Matt! I’m going to have to read this a few times, I wasn’t fully aware of the scale of the risks at play here. I get the sense that society is pricing this risk in the same category as nuclear weapons: not very unlikely in the long run but so bad that it’s not even worth thinking about. Hopefully anthropic (or similar) are smart enough to hire you in their safety department…

Thank you Ben! I think you must be the only reader of mine who gets to the end of a 15,000 word post and decides you have to read it again hahaha
