    I find it very hard to understand the things these AI CEO's say.

    He will probably get up there and say his companies products will destroy every citizen of their countries.

      People will say it's marketing but I find Occam's Razor highly favors the theory "they are true believers in AGI/ASI"

      This seems especially true for Anthropic employees.

        Wouldn’t Occam’s razor say that the people speaking are highly motivated to continue being paid? Relying on their fear of future outcomes seems to be misplaced to judge the honesty of their statements.

          I think it goes beyond money now. A future where AI does not destroy the world means a world where the people who work at these companies are just like everyone else.
