   Is it consuming too much science fiction that has people thinking like this?

      I think the scepticism and gaslighting of people sounding the alarm over the trajectory of AI is concerning. This feels like a case of "knowing better" than the actual people involved in the projects.

      You might be right. You might be wrong. But being overly confident on a topic you're a spectator to is possibly not the right choice.

         IMO it's really not hard to extrapolate where this all ends up if you've read e.g. Das Kapital, and even if you haven't...

            Yep. In fact you just have to look at the people running these AI companies and listen to their own words, they are not painting a positive outcome for their own businesses.
