Gosh it's quite embarassing to have to spell it out, but you inserted the part about Scott's motivations. It can't be found in the text.
Neither can any specific discussion of what the dangers are and how we can steer clear. It all comes preplanted in your head. The only thing that Scott is playing on (as far as we can see) is your ingrained fear, by using an ominous headline, and a vague reference to something "scary" in the conclusion.
Of course there was no reason to "warn" you, you already believed in the scary future. Scott is just giving you fuel, which you seem to appreciate.
- mitthrowaway2 5mo agoIs this the first essay of Scott's that you've read?
- kubb 5mo agoThe first and the last. Doesn't come as a surprise that they're regularly added to HN, often multiple times and rarely ever get more than 5 upvotes.
