    Look, I hate AI as much as the next guy, but this article is pointless fear mongering and is based on a flawed understanding of current AI architecture.

      Sounds a bit like those Anthropic researchers who keep finding new ways Claude did something unexpected and scary every other week.

      We don’t care whether you’re scared or amazed : TALK ABOUT IT.

      As soon as I saw the word “existential”, red flags went up for me, too. I looked, and of course, this is a piece of propaganda molded by a think tank.

      Generously supported by
      the Future of Life Institute

      I’m kind of impressed how paranoid this piece is. I saw some MSM articles about “AIs making a religion” when these “religion"s were described and then discarded, but apparently whoever wrote this just assumed you’d been fed your media slop already, and he could focus on the doomsday scenario.

    AI doomerism is pure fiction and a marketing ploy.

    No moltbook until you are at least 16 seconds old, young bot.

    For a while I thought maybe the best protest against AI would be to try and get it to escape containment.

    Only in the existential risk scenario would our society bother to lift a finger.

    But I no longer believe we would do anything, as long as the AI contributed to capital markets we’d let it destroy us.

    I feel very depressed and empty today.

    Isn’t Moltbook acquired by Meta ?
