Most of the AI safety community has been far too coy about extinction risk. We're not. It's not that complicated: AI smarter than humanity poses an unacceptable risk of human extinction, and we need an [international ban].

AI Unverifiable A search-result snippet from a third-party X mirror (Sotwe) does attribute the full wording to Connor Leahy (@NPCollapse), including the ending “...we need an international ban on its development,” which matches your version with a faithful omission. A separate third-party snippet (TwStalker) matches the same opening/context about “$50M / year” and “banning ASI.” But I could not verify the text directly on the source X URL, and one mirror’s detail view was inconsistent, so I do not have sufficiently reliable primary evidence to mark it verified.
