One-time OpenAI safety researcher is sounding alarm bells about the decidedly grim-sounding prospect that artificial intelligence may, eventually, bring about the end of humanity.


"I think maybe there's something like a 10-20 percent chance of AI takeover, [with] many [or] most humans dead," former OpenAI-er Paul Christiano told the "Bankless" podcast earlier this week. "I take it quite seriously."

When discussing the possibility of AI annihilation, Christiano said that unlike infamous "doomer" Eliezer Yudkowsky, who's been shouting from the rooftops about an AI-powered "Terminator" scenario, he thinks that our end by AI will come more gradually.


"Overall, maybe you're getting more up to a 50/50 chance of doom shortly after you have AI systems that are human level," Christiano said.

The former OpenAI safety team member's new nonprofit, the Alignment Research Center, is based on the concept of AI alignment, which Christiano broadly defined back in 2018 as having machines' motives align with those of humans.

While OpenAI pays lip service to alignment, claiming that it "aims to make artificial general intelligence (AGI) aligned with human values and follow human intent," just the concept of AGI itself is enough to give researchers like Christiano pause.


The challenge is interpreting all the insights into actionable strategies. So far, AI struggles doing that job. Even the most cutting-edge AI can’t match the precision of human expertise, when considering all the other inputs that optimize strategy and make a campaign successful – from the speed of today’s news cycle to the responsible use of cash on hand.

                                             01/12/2026 Warships from China, Russia, and Iran have officially docked in South Africa to commence the "Will for Peace 2026" joint naval drills, a provocative display of unity among the expanded BRICS alliance . The exercises, hosted at the strategic Simon’s Town naval base near Cape Town, are led by China and include advanced vessels like the Chinese destroyer Tangshan, the Russian corvette Stoikiy, and Iran’s massive expeditionary sea base IRIS Makran. While officially framed as routine training for "maritime safety" and "anti-piracy," analysts view the timing as a direct challenge to Western naval dominance . The drills come amidst soaring geopolitical tensions following the recent U.S. military intervention in Venezuela and the seizure of tankers carrying oil from sanctioned nations. By conducting these maneuvers at a key ch...

THE SENATE BILL WILL BE DEAD ON ARRIVAL IN THE HOUSE !!!

Image
BATTLE ON THE HILL!!!!! The agreement holds the potential to allocate $60 billion to Ukraine and $14 billion to Israel, yet its passage through the House appears doubtful. House Republicans have deemed the bill a non-starter unless it incorporates essential components from H.R.2, the House GOP border bill. With Senate Democrats dismissing H.R.2, tensions persist.  https://www.foxnews.com/politics/senate-releases-long-awaited-border-legislation Meanwhile, Johnson vowed to put $17.6 billion in emergency funding on the House floor next week to give Israel assistance. The package has the backing of Senate leaders and the Biden administration, who have said the funding is for the two U.S. allies ($60 billion for Ukraine and $14 billion for Israel) coupled with a bipartisan agreement that will provide approximately $20 billion to control illegal immigration at the southern border, where numbers hit a record 2.4 million encounters in FY 23. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/heres-whats-in-...
