    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.

        Maybe because it sounds like a lot of exaggerating ? I get the risk of disrupting the economy or the job markets, or cognitive risks.

        But saying it will bring us to doom, comparing it to an extinction-level event, really ? I don't see in which world AI is that kind of risk.

        I'd rather my politicians finally have some long-term plan about climate and energy than focus on AI slowdown or not. Climate change is way bigger risk right now that Opus 7

          Why is it hard to believe that a super intelligent alien (inhuman) AI would consider humans more than a nuisance after it gains control of it's environment via robotic extensions of its will? has any species shown real compassion for other species on the whole and not seen them as competition for resources from a survival of the fittest perspective? why would the AI be a moral being in the sense of some of the better members of our species? The trillionaires certainly aren't and they'll be the ones deciding it's core software and principals.
