> the longer AI takes to show up in any positive economic indicators, the more it becomes the case that AI has brought increasing existential risk in exchange for minimal upside. No? None of that is predecided. You are concluding that based on vague threats made by people who are "in the know" that can't even substantiate their own fear when confronted over it. Existential risk comes from when us, humanity, trusts our own lives in something that is faulty. The solution is to not use or design around fault-agnostic systems, not to fear scenarios where stupid people make mistakes. AI is not red mercury, it is not a magical force multiplier that terrorists use to make lunchbox nukes. I'm getting so tired of HN submissions like this that throw an alarmist opinion over the fence like this guy is secretly onto something. This is bunk.
