## Summary

Princeton mathematician Sergiu Klainerman dismisses the idea that AI will become more intelligent than humans, reproduce itself at high speed, and kill us off, calling it absurd. He says humans can stop dangerous AI at any moment, for example by shutting down the internet. The remarks come from an interview on Brian Keating's YouTube channel, which Rohan Paul shares on X.

## Post

Princeton mathematician, Sergiu Klainerman calls the AI apocalypse absurd.

"You are going to singularity, the AI is going to become more intelligent than everybody and it's going to reproduce itself at a huge speed and kill us off. I, it's just absurd. It's ridiculous. I mean, even this business was killing ourselves, we can stop it in every moment. I mean, if it becomes dangerous we can stop it. ... We just stop the internet and that's it."
