I see the point the author is making, but AI doesn't need to be AGI or malicious to cause mass destruction. A poorly implemented deployment of AI in the right circumstances with too much access and insufficient guardrails could theoretically wind up LARPing as Skynet purely by chance. This is why I've always considered current AI "safety" efforts to be totally wrongheaded. It's not a threat to humanity if someone has an AI generate hate speech, porn, misinformation, or political propaganda. AI is only a threat to humanity if we don't take security seriously as we roll out increasingly more AI-driven automation of the economy. It's already terrifying to me that people are relying on containers to sandbox yolo-mode coding agents, or even raw dogging them or their personal machines.
