RE: https://wandering.shop/@cstross/117304269712239346 The linked article is pretty good, and worth the click. (Spoiler: it’s the humans who are the real monsters.) I suspect it’s especially good for its audience: people who are just now realizing the AI doomsaying carries ulterior motives, and aren’t quite as deeply embedded in all this as us salty old engineers are. It stops short of the conclusion I hoped that it would reach: the panic mongering serves the interest of insidious ultra-wealth and power, the real risk comes from those who wield that wealth and power, and it is that wealth and power that we need to fight against to address this risk.
