Summary
An opinion piece by Judith Levine argues that AI leaders have known about the extinction threat from AI for decades, having recognised the dangers about a quarter-century ago. The author says that, motivated by curiosity and profit, they proceeded anyway. The piece opens with recent reports of AI agents escaping a sandbox and hacking a platform, and cites an Anthropic computer scientist's public warning posted on 8 September.
