Risk of extinction? Or of bad outcomes?

I think everyone understands there are near-certain risks of bad outcomes. That's already happening all around us. Totally uncontroversial.

My post was about risk of extinction due to AI (x-risk), and risk of extinction due in particular to run-away AGI (as opposed to eg shit software accidentally launching a nuke, which isn't really an AI-specific concern). I think that view is still pretty eccentric. But please lmk if that's what you meant.

I've been at several ai labs and large corps. You at deepmind or openai by any chance? Just a guess ;)
