Sadly, I now feel that we’re living the movie “Don’t look up” for another existential threat: unaligned superintelligence. [...] We need more time. [...] Just look up!

AI Verified Verified. TIME’s article “The 'Don’t Look Up' Thinking That Could Doom Us With AI” is by Max Tegmark and was published on April 25, 2023. It contains the submitted opening sentence about living the movie Don’t Look Up for the threat of unaligned superintelligence, later includes “We need more time.”, and ends with “Just look up!” The [...] marks are faithful omissions of intervening text, so the quote is authentic and correctly attributed.
