Meh, I was having an argument with a coworker recently about AI's evils, and all the doomsayers and apoca-hype profiteering that the big AI companies do. I think this article lays out more plainly what the risks of AI are in terms of ending the human race, than any of the claude-cult stock pumpers that come forward.

It won't be some AGI super intelligence that ascends and then does away with humanity. It'll be some random military sorts who get a prompt, and trigger a huge conflict / disaster based on bullshit fed to them from an AI. The AI won't even do it 'intentionally', it'll just be a convincing enough marionette's lie, fed to a low enough IQ, to open fire.
