Verification History

AI Verified Verified via web search. Emad Mostaque (Stability AI founder) tweeted in May 2023: "I don't get folk who say there is no existential risk from AGI" followed by "There's so many ways to wipe out humanity for something that can be more persuasive than anyone & replicate itself & gather any resources". The PetaPixel article cited as source returns 403 to WebFetch but is widely cited and the tweet content is confirmed across multiple secondary sources. The vote 'for' the statement 'AI poses an existential threat to humanity' correctly aligns with Mostaque's well-documented position (50% p(doom), signatory of Pause AI letter and CAIS statement on AI risk). Note: He continues to express similar views in 2025 (book "The Last Economy", "extinction-level risk" framing) so his position remains consistent. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 21h ago
