The Superintelligence Moratorium Push: 50,000+ Signatories Demand a Pause

[tradelikepro]

Over 50,000 experts, Nobel laureates, and public figures signed an open letter urging a halt on developing superintelligence until it's proven safe.
Their concerns range from:
• economic displacement
• civil liberties loss
• national security risks
• even potential human extinction
Public polling backs the caution: 2 in 3 Americans say superintelligence shouldn’t be built until safety is guaranteed.
