Ted Chiang on the Ezra Klein podcast said basically the same thing:
AI Doomerism is actually capitalist anxiety.
- MichaelZuo 2y agoProbably not even that specific, more like an underlying fear that 8 billion people interacting in a complex system will forever be beyond the human capacity to grasp. Which is likely true.

Its best case.example.is.eugenics, where "intellectuals" believe.they can degermine what.the best traits are.in a.complex system and prune sociery to achieve some perfect outcomr. The peoblrm, of course, is the sysyrm is complex, filled with hidden variables.and humans will tend to focus entirrly on phenotypes which are the easiest to observe. Thesr modrls will do the same humanbbiased selection and grabitateb to a substatially vapid mean.
