A user says they put a low probability on literal human extinction from AI, but reject the argument that focusing on extinction distracts from other risks. They worry more about less-than-existential incidents, concentration of power, destabilization and gradual loss of control. Still, they argue that pacing, investment in safety and alignment, auditing and regulation can mitigate multiple risks—leaving them in agreement with so-called “doomers” on many points.
