I don't buy it. From what I read the other day, even the original article didn't clarify the cause-effect connection between this claim and the ousting of the CEO.
Also, what was said was basically LLMs with math capabilities was around the corner. It solves the weakness of the current LLM, namely lack of logic in the model. That's not a threat on its own. It's just a personal anecdote yet. This employee might even just be a manager who has no idea how AI works. (That's my impression as a scientist).
To prove that it's a threat to humanity, that employee would have to do experiments because it's science. Note that ANY AI achievement has been hypothesized to be a threat to humanity by laymen. So far there's nothing to indicate that this employee analyzed anything deep to reach the conclusion.
Edit: it's also next to impossible for a language model with math capabilities to destroy humanity. It's popular fantasy unless you replace the US President with ChatGPT, for example.
To be fair, what the media has put out is nothing but a dumbed down simplistic description. Trying to deduce the actual threat here is not going to go well if you only go by the bullshit that has been reported.
Now having said that, I too feel there is a lot more to this
I have a feeling that danger is some weakness we already know of, but will never be outgrown by LLMs in the foreseeable future.
