Absolutely based. Finally someone of stature in the industry calling this whole fear overblown. Bill Gates sounded like a nontechnical goofball in his Ezra Klein interview where he basically just screamed that the Terminator is real.
There are lots of real worries (government use to suppress the people with minimal manpower or popular support, brainrot and fake news, unemployment due to the belief that LLMs can replace people, education collapse, etc.) we should instead be looking at. This whole rogue AI shtick is tiresome.

  Linus Torvalds was also in the same ballpark with his take on AI, as are the normies on the street using AI on a daily basis.
  So it's funny to see the view on AI usage, follow the tech skill bathtub curve.
