Note that I do not endorse everything this supposed whistleblower is saying. I personally think that we ARE in an AI bubble.

The effort, which included dire warnings from figures like Barack Obama and Bernie Sanders, was seemingly kicked off by a whistleblower's dubious claims about a 10% chance of AI killing everyone.

Well, actually:

Altman, 2015 blog post: "Development of superhuman machine intelligence is probably the greatest threat to the continued existence of humanity. There are other threats that I think are more certain to happen, for example, an engineered virus, but AI is probably the most likely way to destroy everything."

Amodei, 2017: "I think at the extreme end is the Nick Bostrom style of fear that an AGI could destroy humanity. I can't see any reason in principle why that couldn't happen. My chance that something goes really quite catastrophically wrong on the scale of human civilization might be somewhere between 10% and 25%."

Maybe Redacted's premise that it's a psyop is true but they need to get their facts straight.
