“AI is powerful and uncontrollable and could kill all of humanity, like seriously” is not a complicated message.
Anything longer than 8 morphemes is probably not going to survive Twitter or CNN getting their hands on it. I like the original version (“Literally everyone will die”) better.
The empirical track record is that the top 3 AI research labs (Anthropic, DeepMind, and OpenAI) were all started by people worried that AI would be unsafe, who then went on to design and implement a bunch of unsafe AIs.
