    There's been multiple YouTubers saying they've been paid recently to make... AI Doomerism videos (e.g. Sabine).

    I imagine this is simply part of the campaign, AI doomerism followed by AI Bloomerism, it could even be part of the same organisation's campaign; selling the solution to a problem they put in your mind. Hype, criti-hype, it's all so tiresome.

      AI doomerism more importantly I think legitimises current AI as being super powerful and useful. If something can take over the world then surely it's a powerful technology !

      What we instead really have is Simple Skynet
