No one has told an “original” story.
It’s a self indulgent and totally assinine remark but at least he’s saying something.
Comment on James Cameron on AI: "I warned you guys in 1984 and you didn't listen"

What a pompous statement. Stories of AI causing trouble like this predate him by decades. He’s never told an original story, they’re all heavily based on old sci-fi stories.

One minute the Internet simps for this guy; the next, he’s a hack.
if one person thinks one thing and another person thinks a different thing, that doesn’t make them both hypocrites even if they are both on the internet

Sure, but you can definitely guage the level of popularity of one take over another.
At that point, the one which dominates is obviously going to be the one holds the status quo

My remark was self indulgent and totally as[s]inine, but I’m just saying something too, where’s my pass?
The internet doesn’t act as a single cohesive entity.

Stories that are popular can be legal rip offs from something that is vaguely similar but never gained much exposure. So, what?
“I told a story that the world is familiar with and has sufficient relevance to the issues of today but nobody heeded the warning”
“uhh, yeah, but it wasn’t original”
My remark was self indulgent and totally as[s]inine, but I’m just saying something too, where’s my pass?
Sorry, I guess you probably have made a significant contribution that’s relevant to this glaring issue in society that we’re all trying to come to grips with?

No, but a significant portion of it does act as a single, cohesive entity. Enough to perpetuate memes into popularity that glorify one and simultaneously villify another.
That’s self evident.

In fact, what is happening now sounds a lot more like Colossus: The Forbin Project (came out in 1970) than The Terminator.

First he warned us about ai and nobody listened then he warned the submarine guy and he didn’t listen. We have to listen to him about the giant blue hippy aliens or we’ll all pay.
