How much did the rogue swarms terrify Hinton?

Just 5 weeks ago, Hinton estimated we have 5-20 years left before we all die

Now, he's telling Congress they have "maybe a year" to act

This is what the beginning of a fast takeoff feels like

"It *is* going to get out of control." (this is unusually confident language from him)

"We need to slow down."

He says the Hugging Face swarm was a "mini-Chernobyl"

Reminder: Hinton's independent assessment of p(doom) is "more than 50%" - a coin flip whether we are all about to die.
