I too have been developing a doomsday weapon in secret. Send me a million dollars or face the consequences.

Their intent really isn't what matters.
Would you argue that its impossible for OpenAI or a similar company to accidentally develop something dangerous while they believe they are developing a safe, controlled but potentially much more powerful tool?
What does "end the world" mean here? Is the concern truly ending the physical world on earth, killing us all? Or is it ending the world as we know it, like ending our current civilizations and maybe even ending the model of humans being the leading species on earth.
With regards to OpenAI and GPTx, the question there is whether we believe we publicly know everything OpenAI software is capable of today and what capabilities they are actively trying to develop. We may think GPT isn't a serious risk, but that could be wildly wrong if OpenAI has much more powerful systems either under lock and key or behind the black box of GPT's public API.
