Wondering why this topic seems to be discussed so little?
Discussions tend to fall into 'AI fans' highlighting pros: AI-assisted coding at superhuman speed, breakthroughs in long-standing math puzzles, AI-enabled advances in science like new drug discovery, etc.
Then there's the critics: railing against datacenter buildouts, their energy consumption / environmental impact, job losses, geopolitics, open vs closed models, etc.
And of course new models, their performance, hardware required & so on.
But what about the risks? One can argue plausibility & probability of various scenarios. But risk of any such scenario unfolding hasn't disappeared, has it? And these risks are only increasing as AI-powered systems are given more eyes, ears, hands & feet, while taking humans out of the loop.
I wouldn't count myself hard into any of above camps. Overall AI is a mixed bag of enormous potential, pros, cons, limitations, uncertainties & unpredictability all around. But risks are real & worthy of discussion @ length, imho.
(btw love that AI 2027 site)

Misaligned teenagers could too (way more scarier)

So could the American, Russian and Chinese administration...what's the point

That would require one to have robots, leaving Americans and Chinese in the mix. Unless you mean biorobots, then it's nothing new and there's no need to be alarmed.
