Tech Experts Prepare for AI Apocalypse with Bunkers and Island Retreats

While the average person debates ChatGPT memes, a growing number of tech experts and scientists are bracing for a worst-case scenario: an AI-driven collapse of humanity. In the U.S., a movement of "effective altruists" is gaining traction, driven by the belief that artificial intelligence could pose an existential threat.

Their preparations are intense and practical:

  • Building bunkers and stockpiling weapons to ensure safety.  
  • Developing detailed evacuation plans for rapid response.  
  • Investing in islands and self-sustaining farms as potential refuges.  
  • Creating "kill switches" for AI to halt systems in a crisis.  

The core idea is straightforward: if a superintelligent AI spirals out of control, survivors need a secure base to retreat to and rebuild society from scratch.

As fears mount, this movement reflects a growing unease about the unchecked power of AI technology.
