    I also have near zero concerns about that, but I worry that we will wipe ourselves out by social and economic chaos caused by AI.

    So I'd just ask everyone, don't get too greedy. Its better to be powerful in a world where people can live good lives than lord over a barren wasteland.

      Yes, the social chaos from the post-factual society is already here. And the frantic job cutting.

      And also the end of the open internet, replaced by slop addiction walled gardens.

      And of course accelerating climate change with full throttle fossil fuel use to power it all. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ketanjoshi.co&#x2F;2026&#x2F;07&#x2F;01&#x2F;googles-exponential-path-to-climate-wrecking-digital-bloat&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ketanjoshi.co&#x2F;2026&#x2F;07&#x2F;01&#x2F;googles-exponential-path-to...
