Saw David Frum (The Atlantic) do his podcst and he has that same kind of hectoring, self-satisfied, rigid vibe.
More sophisticated than your average masked lesbian upset about all text or whatever, but it's pretty much the same personality.
counterpoint - virtually everyone in tech believes this. It's literally just IT. cyber, automation, data, all the stuff people have been doing for decades.
@grok is it illegal for US Presidents to give more interviews to friendly outlets?
But actually comms firms are in high demand and get paid well. For doing nothing?

This p(doom) stuff is just social currency and useful for manipulation in various ways.
You understand, though, that some people look at a static weight LLM and assess that the probability of us building actual alien beings that decide to destroy us is less than the probability that aliens will land on Earth in the next 100 years?
I get that there is a whole scaffolding of 'if this happens, then if that happens, then this could happen' etc.
But if you take a step back, you see how someone could build that same scaffolding for any of these scenarios?
ok, thought experiment. You've got lets say $100M - some one comes to you and says "hey, make me a 10-sided die. once your done, I'll role it. 1-9 you'll be a billionaire. but if I role a 10, you and everyone you've ever met will be killed."
Now you think Dario is taking that deal? Really? That just seems insane. Obviously no one believes this 10% p(doom) Skynet fantasy.

"how about telling us which ones are vegetables and which ones are clumps of dirt in the shape of a carrot"

-uh, sure Bob? Maybe Bill Barr can sell it - go for it...
Does a land mine 'want' to explode when someone steps on it?
Does a computer 'want' to connect to wifi when someone turns it on?
No difference.
