Does AI have risks? Undoubtedly. Lots of them – from fuelling cyberattacks to military uses to the financial bubble. But to believe specifically in *extinction* risk as the leading threat is clownery, to be honest. "AI takeover" is a sci-fi scenario and "AI kills us all" even more so. There are much more realistic risks right in front of our faces. AND, if we're going to talk about risks to humanity, we should look at the actual science around climate change instead of the sci-fi of AI.
