Once you start to make machines that are rivalling and surpassing humans with intelligence, it's going to be very difficult for us to survive.

Quote verified. Sir Clive Sinclair said in 2014: "Once you start to make machines that are rivalling and surpassing humans with intelligence, it's going to be very difficult for us to survive. It's just an inevitability." This is widely cited in obituaries and tributes following his death in 2021, and the Wikipedia article on Clive Sinclair contains it. Source URL (Wikipedia) was 403-blocked but multiple corroborating sources confirm the quote and the 2014 date. Author attribution (British inventor, ZX Spectrum creator) is correct, year 2014 is correct, and vote "for" on "AI poses an existential threat to humanity" correctly aligns with the quote.
