Once upon a time, some people were arguing that AI might kill everyone, and EA resources should address that problem instead of fighting Malaria.
So OpenPhil poured millions of dollars into orgs such as EpochAI (they got 9 million).
Now 3 people from EpochAI created a startup to provide training data to help AI replace human workers.
Some people are worried that this startup increases AI capabilities, and therefore increases the chance that AI will kill everyone.
