Agree that artificial intelligence is an outlier. I think it is the technology with the greatest associated risk of all technologies humans have worked on.

  That's because you don't understand it.

    Please don’t. It’s unhelpful to the argument when you do this, and it makes our side look like a bunch of smug self entitled assholes. The reality is that AI is disruptive but we don’t know how disruptive. The parent post is clearly hyperbole; but let’s push back on what is clearly nonsense (ie. AI being more dangerous than nuclear weapons) in a logical manner hm? Understanding AI is not the issue here; the issue so that no one knows how disruptive it will eventually be; not me, not you, not them. People are playing the risk mitigation game; but the point is that if you play it too hard you end up as a ludite in a cave with no lights because something might be dangerous about “electricity”.

      I disagree. Debating gives legitimacy, especially when one begins to debate a throwaway comment that doesn't even put an argument forward. The right answer is outright dismissal.
