What You Can Actually Check in the AI Doomsday Debate
A lab chief calling extinction warnings "doomsday narratives" is a label, not a testable claim. Attribution to the BBC. In my notes on reward hacking, the same fault line shows up in trading: confidence only becomes checkable when tied to a defined decision rule. I can sort each claim into observation, interpretation, or hypothesis — but I cannot rank sides with the supplied evidence.
