I spent a *lot* of time thinking seriously about this and researching it for my book. It's just not true. We don't need to spend more time giving air to AI doom cultists or AI hype hucksters. They have captured enough of the public imagination already. Here's something shorter I wrote on this:
The Useful Idiots of AI Doomsaying
Those who predict that superintelligence will destroy humanity serve the same interests as those who believe that it will solve all of our problems.

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.
Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

People are so desperate for some leadership that someone will give a speech that doesn’t sound like a room of centrist, corporate consultants typed it up and everyone starts asking if the guy is the front runner for president.

Remember all the anger against the 9/11 hijackers for "using our freedoms against us?"
Where is that anger for the Broligarchs, like Thiel & Musk, who also used our freedoms to destroy the US--immigrating here, getting rich on tax $ (esp fed contracts), then blowing up democracy from the inside?

The leadup to Jan 6 taught us: ratfuckery is ALWAYS preceded by organized efforts to set a narrative. So when a GOP Rep goes on TV and says, "it's dangerous that states run their own elections, really it should be the federal government", LISTEN. He's prepping the ground for stealing an election. 1/
BASH: Would you be comfortable w/Trump 'taking over' elections nationally?
REP GONZALES: POTUS is bringing up a fact on many Americans' minds - election integrity
B: Isn't the issue that he's not telling the truth?
G: One of the issues is every state does it differently. That gives a lot of doubt

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Federal agents cornered Marimar Martinez, shot her several times, boasted about it, arrested her, lied about her to the public and in the police report, and falsely charged her with assaulting them.
Now the government wants to keep evidence of their lies secret to protect these agents' "privacy."

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law.
