I'm talking about the breathless alarmism that Dario and his company push out as a marketing strategy. They've given us such gems as these:

- "It’s a bit like selling nuclear weapons to North Korea" (from the company that can't go more than a day or two without serious downtime)

- "We are releasing a model that is too powerful for the public"

- "It would be good for the world to have the option to slow or temporarily pause frontier AI development."

- "I believe that biological risks may soon follow, and that serious AI autonomy risks may not be far behind."

You can fill my ear with nitpicks about there still being time for these cries of wolf to be born out, but be prepared for me to wax philosophical about all things being possible given an eternal timescale.

Where? It seems exceedingly unlikely that developers have all been phased out while I wasn't looking, as Dario prognosticated. And even if they all up and disappeared, AI still hasn't found a toehold outside of the relatively niche market of agentic coding.
