Anyone who claims AI is going to kill us I just assume is either an idiot, not knowledgeable enough about the technology to have a worthwhile opinion on it, or is fearmongering to hype their AI investment.

    The thing that scares me more than any "tech" is runaway climate change. The feedback loops. We've pushed things really far into the red.
