Will the world end on 11/13/2026? That’s a bit specific, but it’s from a real 1960 scientific paper (half in jest). See how AI could restore hyperbolic growth, how an AI industrial explosion might look, and the potential dangers of AI taking off without any new hardware at all.

In this new video, we explore warning shots: events that could wake humanity up to the dangers of AI. We ask whether we'll get such a warning, and what past examples involving nuclear power and pandemics can teach us about how people might respond.

Could a totalitarian regime conquer the entire world and lock in its power forever? In this new video, we explore which technologies might make this possibility more likely, and how we could shape technological development in order to prevent it.

Yeah, we had to make this video as quickly as possible, and many more details have emerged since then. In particular, we recommend this conference talk by two OpenAI researchers: youtu.be/87DyyMV0kCY It reveals the extent of the models' internal coordination, as well as a much longer and more worrying period of hacking and collective agent misalignment than was initially reported.
