There's a "wall of fear-mongering and doomerism" in the AI world right now.

"Worrying about AI today is like worrying about overpopulation on Mars."

Concerns that AI could pose a threat to humanity is "preposterously ridiculous."

Claiming AI poses an existential threat is "such an extreme" and risks "wip[ing] out some of its potential benefits."

"I'm more concerned about... the risks that are here and now [than the existential threat of AI]."

Current AI is "not anywhere close" to posing an existential threat but it could in the future.

AI is the "biggest existential threat" to humanity.

AGI's worst-case scenario would be "lights-out for all of us."

Powerful AI systems "taking control" pose an "existential threat."

AI has a "10 to 25 per cent" chance of destroying humanity.

"The most likely result of building a superhumanly smart AI... is that literally everyone on Earth will die."

Does AI Pose an Existential Threat to Humanity?

Stuart Russell

Shane Legg

Society is more likely to get "cat-level" or "dog-level" AI years before human-level AI.

"[W]e will eventually reach AGI... and quite possibly before the end of this century."

"Superhuman AIs" will be achieved "between a few years and a couple of decades."

"Digital intelligence" could overtake us within "5 to 20 years."

"[W]e could get to real AGI in the next decade."

"Human-level" AI could occur in "two or three years."

"I'd be surprised if we don't have AGI by [2029]."

Will AI Surpass Human Intelligence, and When?

SpaceX announced Tuesday it will acquire Anysphere, the company behind AI coding tool Cursor, for $60 billion in an all-stock deal. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, pending regulatory approvals.

The acquisition comes days after SpaceX raised more than $85 billion in its Nasdaq debut, the largest IPO in history, which valued the company at more than $2 trillion. SpaceX's stock has climbed more than 56% from its IPO price of $135.

SpaceX had secured an option in April 2026 to either purchase Cursor for $60 billion or pay a $10 billion fee for their collaboration on coding and AI. If the deal collapses due to antitrust issues, SpaceX will pay a separate $4 billion regulatory termination fee.

Founded in 2022 by MIT graduates, Cursor has grown rapidly, reaching roughly $2.6 billion in annualized business-to-business revenue. The startup had previously been in talks to raise $2 billion at a $50 billion valuation before the SpaceX deal was announced.

SpaceX's AI division, built around xAI and its Grok chatbot, has lagged behind coding tools from rivals including Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex. SpaceX merged with xAI in February and has been restructuring the division amid repeated controversies.

Cursor is used by major companies including Stripe, Adobe and Nvidia, and is backed by investors such as Andreessen Horowitz, Thrive and Google. Cursor shareholders will receive SpaceX Class A common stock as payment under the terms of the deal.
