Leahy is a hacker, researcher and expert on Artificial General Intelligence. He is the CEO of Conjecture, a company he co-founded to focus on making AGI safe. He shares the view of many leading thinkers in the industry, including the godfather of AI Geoffrey Hinton, who fear what they have built. They argue that recent rapid unregulated research combined with the exponential growth of AGI will soon lead to catastrophe for humanity - unless an urgent intervention is made.

Terminator has taught me that if someone named Connor tries to warn you that AI will take over the world, you better listen.
-
The single most terrifying bit? This entire interview could have been generated by AI and we would never know ...
-
A tasteful interviewer with humor who asks meaningful, guiding questions and lets their guest talk freely. Another endangered species.

My man looks like he is about to drop the heaviest metal album ever.

Align to which human values? We can't even align humans to human values.

"It will feel mostly normal but weird and getting weirder..." That's how it feels right now.

I’m a70 year old who has been questioning the change personal computer and internet has brought. AI takes me further away. Society is being shredded.
-
The part where he said everything was just gonna seem like it was getting weirder and weirder until one day we don't know the difference between truth and lie and propaga that's already started....
-
If we found out years from now that AI took over in the early 2000's everything going on in the world would make sense.
-
The American corporation behaves like a psychopath. The fact that the big technology corporations are leading the development of AI is nightmarish.

If I was to ask "what is the most destructive thing on the earth"...the answer would be "humans". If a robot is asked to save the earth...I can imagine its next move.
-
Our biggest problem is not people as individuals it's the mindless corporate boardrooms with ego driven leaders who don't care about your average person.
-
Connor hit the nail on the head with the chess analogy. When the hammer comes down, we won't see it coming and if you look around at the craziness in the world today and how the masses are being manipulated to do things that are not in their own best interest, well, maybe it's too late already and we just can't see it.

This is the type of man who was mocked in every sci-fi movie, until they were all wiped out.

Sounds like he is describing the original story of the genie. You ask it for world peace, it snaps its fingers and all the people are gone. Mission accomplished

I've been a software developer since 1986. Circa 1989 I was discussing software engineering with a guy, outside a topless bar 😊, and he brought up nano technology and then explained how nanobots replicate. I thought he was nuts. About 4 years, maybe, Scott McNeely, CEO of Sun Microsystems at the time, put out a page article, in multiple major news papers, I think, warning about the danger we might create. His fear came after talking to computer scientist, author, inventor, and futurist Ray Kurzweil; one of my all time favorite person. Read about Kurzweil and his challenge create a electronic piano. Summation: New technology scares people; even smart people.

unfortunately so many people are struggling just to keep their heads above water right now that we are too distracted to fight the real threat
