People have been sounding that alarm for well over a year now, just not anyone who has the power to do anything about it.

Lesswrong / “doomers” have been sounding the alarm on this for over a decade. Sam Altman himself was familiar with the milieu and agreed “Development of superhuman machine intelligence is probably the greatest threat to the continued existence of humanity.”

It’s baffling these concerns have been drowned out for so long until now that we’re finally at a point they are unequivocally undeniable, we get people saying the alarm has just been sounded. Ya because “doomers” were repeatedly dismissed as their predictions became true year after year
