Quote verified. The exact phrase "a superintelligent AI, if it decides to turn against us, may well leave no survivors and end humanity for good" comes from Vitalik Buterin's November 2023 blog post on techno-optimism (covered by Decrypt and Benzinga). Source URL was 403-blocked but multiple corroborating search results match verbatim. Author attribution to Vitalik Buterin (Ethereum co-founder) is correct, and the vote "for" on "AI poses an existential threat to humanity" correctly aligns with the quote's explicit warning about superintelligent AI leaving no survivors. Year 2023 is appropriate.
