In a 2016 New Yorker interview, Altman said:

“I have guns, gold, potassium iodide, antibiotics, batteries, water, and a big patch of land in Big Sur I can fly to.”

He described himself and Peter Thiel as part of a “survivalist” club.

(This was before the ChatGPT boom.)

Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI)

Known Preparations: Sam Altman is the most cited example of an AI leader who actively prepares for doomsday scenarios. In a 2016 interview, he confirmed he has a "go-bag" with guns, gold, potassium iodide, batteries, water, gas masks, and a large plot of land in Big Sur he can fly to.

Stated Concerns: Altman's preparations are not solely linked to a rogue AI. He has specifically mentioned concerns about a "lethal synthetic virus," an AI that could attack humanity, or a resource war between nuclear-armed states.

New Zealand Arrangement: He also revealed a pact with fellow tech billionaire Peter Thiel to fly to Thiel's properties in New Zealand in the event of a societal collapse.

Ilya Sutskever (Co-founder and former Chief Scientist of OpenAI)

Proposed a Bunker for Researchers: In the summer of 2023, Sutskever reportedly told core employees, "We're definitely going to build a bunker before we release AGI".

Motivation: The proposed bunker was intended to protect OpenAI's key scientists from the potential chaos and violent upheavals that could follow the release of a true Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) that surpasses human cognitive abilities.

Other AI Leaders and the Broader Tech Trend

No Public Bunkers for Some: There are no public reports or statements confirming that leaders like Dario Amodei of Anthropic or Demis Hassabis of Google DeepMind have personal doomsday bunkers. Their public focus is primarily on preventing an AI catastrophe through safety research and responsible deployment rather than personal survival.

A Prevalent Silicon Valley Mindset: The practice of "prepping" is widespread in Silicon Valley. Reid Hoffman, the co-founder of LinkedIn, has estimated that over 50% of Silicon Valley billionaires have some form of "apocalypse insurance," such as a bunker or an escape property overseas. New Zealand is a particularly favored destination.

Diverse Motivations: The fears driving this trend are varied. While the risk of rogue AI is a concern, many tech executives also worry about societal backlash against the tech industry, civil unrest caused by AI-driven job displacement, pandemics, or environmental collapse.

Notable Preppers:

Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal, famously acquired New Zealand citizenship and purchased large estates there, with plans to build a sprawling, secluded lodge seen by many as a survivalist compound.

Former Facebook executive Antonio García Martínez reportedly bought land on an island in the Pacific Northwest, equipped with generators and ammunition.

they know what they're doing. they know that they're playing with fire (potential economic collapse) and are more than happy to externalize the costs to the public while creating little Galt's Gulches of iniquity for themselves in the likely scenario that this stuff causes serious issues for the masses of men.

what kind of a Faustian nightmare soul does it take for a man to keep on with this stuff, even when in the social planning cockpit all of the lights are flashing red? the answer: a sociopath's. yet these people are billionaires and basically unaccountable to public opinion. something is extremely wrong with all of this.

they're not running from the machines. the machines are just tools. i doubt "AGI" will ever exist. they're running from the economic downturns that will cause good men replaced by the Benthamite nightmare mills to have their ways of life destroyed all in the name of penny pinching "savings" and more technocapitalistic control over the organic social body

Seems like it may impact higher IQ even more to be honest (long term). Yeah for now senior people might actually benefit, but there will come a day when it’s so good that you don’t even need to be smart for it to guide you much better than any lawyer or senior business leader. Doctors? Lol. And Elon will have his robot army replacing much of blue collar. What’s really left at that point? Just ultra senior direction givers, but the normal white collar professional class? Tough to see how it exists at scale

cr. it’s unfathomable that these limpwristed nebbishes would be able to defend themselves, which means they’ll need hired guns to do it. the next level of analysis would be a reliable method for maintaining control of these hired guns, but i suspect these people are too naively arrogant to consider that they won’t just naturally assume authority in a state of nature the same way they have in our rigged casino nightmare.
