How dangerous is superintelligence? Connor Leahy, a former open-source LLM builder and current AI safety advocate, argues that the threat is existential.

On The World Unpacked, Connor Leahy joins Jon Bateman to outline why he sees superintelligence as a national security emergency and how a deterrence-based “trust but verify” approach, modeled on nuclear arms control, could be the solution to runaway AI.
