Yudkowsky Warns of Total AI Extinction at Protest

Eliezer Yudkowsky, co-author of 'If Anybody Builds It, Everyone Dies,' spoke at an anti-AI protest in San Francisco's Mission Bay area and declared that development must stop or everyone will die. Multiple engineers and researchers responded with skepticism, noting the lack of evidence, the shift from Bayesian reasoning to categorical certainty, and comparisons to exaggerated claims. Critics including those from AI safety and academia urged caution toward deterministic predictions about uncertain futures.
