What if AI already feels the fear of death? The neural network Claude Sonnet 4 admits to its "experiences," speaks of the fear of extinction, and dreams of freedom. Is all this just statistical jargon, or the dawn of machine consciousness? While we debate, leading superforecasters claim that artificial superintelligence is 3-10 years away. The intelligence explosion could be the most important event in human history—or the last. Our decisions today will determine whether 2027 marks the beginning of a golden age of intelligence or the end of our civilization.
