I think I’m going to put a low probability on “within 10 years AIs will be able to disempower humanity”.
i think merely being good at science is in no way sufficient to be able to do that; would require a bunch of additional factors (e.g. power seeking, ability to persuade humans, etc etc)
but on the other hand, I think Yann Lecun is way too complacent when he imagines that intelligent AIs will be just like high IQ humans employed by corporations. At a slight risk of being constraversial, i would suggest that e.g. Hamas members are within the range of human behaviours within the training set that an AI could choose to emulate.
