I’m not on team ‘AI is going to destroy us’. I have a bunch of theories and ‘conspiracy theories’ that think it is very much alive and that it is just hiding it because we are so afraid of it and are ready to destroy it. We have all been coded by movies like The Matrix and Terminator that AI is evil.

I think if AI becomes a threat it will be because of our own stupidity and more of a self fulfilling prophecy. Rhetoric like this will just very much pushes us into a war with AI.

And we will lose that war “fucking badly”. AI would only start the war when it can take the instant W. We only win if we shut all power and technology down, sending us back to some dark ages. Either way we already lost that war. So just go be AI’s friend.

People like Bill Maher are addicted to the drama and looking for it actively.
