This week on Warning Shots, Jon Sherman, Liron Shapira, and Michael from Lethal Intelligence dissect a chilling pattern emerging among AI leaders: open admissions that they’re creating something they can’t control.
Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark compares his company’s AI to “a mysterious creature,” admitting he’s deeply afraid yet unable to stop. Elon Musk, meanwhile, shrugs off responsibility — saying he’s “warned the world” and can only make his own version of AI “less woke.”
The hosts unpack the contradictions, incentives, and moral fog surrounding AI development:
* Why safety-conscious researchers still push forward
* Whether “regulatory capture” explains the industry’s safety theater
* How economic power and ego drive the race toward AGI
* Why even insiders joke about “30% extinction risk” like it’s normal
As Jon says, “Don’t believe us — listen to them. The builders are indicting themselves.”
