    We've had movies like Terminator, Matrix, or i, Robot. Black Mirror Metalhead. Boston dynamics robo dog with a knife or a gun. Humanoids doing back flips. Memes making fun of how we are going to fight these for access to water.

    The intelligence is there and so is the physical incarnation.

    Google's models fold proteins better than humans and Covid might have been engineered and inadvertently escaped from a lab.

    But when CEOs warn of that, they're dismissed as scare mongers. Why? Are only powerless internet commentators allowed to be fearful?
