Google and Microsoft engineer stopped saving for retirement. He claims that humanity has a decade left due to AI.

Nate Soares, an AI expert, expresses serious concerns about the potential dangers of superintelligent AI, which could disregard human welfare. He has not contributed to his retirement fund for a decade, believing it futile. Soares warns that if AI achieves self-sufficiency, it may eliminate humans as obstacles to its goals. He estimates a potential catastrophe could occur within the next decade but believes it can still be prevented by avoiding the creation of particularly dangerous AI. His views align with those of Geoffrey Hinton, who previously assessed a 10-20% chance of AI taking control by 2025.
