    Ah, the fear of the potential thing as described by the ultra-rich.

    Why do you trust them to be the ones who shape your fears?

      I don’t think you’re engaging with what I’m saying sincerely, and I’m trying to do that with you.

        I was responding directly to this.

        Is lack of open source AI currently a civilizational existential threat? No. Could it be if current trends continue? Potentially. Things could get pretty dystopian if only the mega rich control tools with ultra-intelligence.

        “Could”, “potentially,” what-ifs. CEOs and actual cult leaders like Eli Yudkowsky have spoonfed the narrative to gullible journalists and politicians.

        Why do you trust them?
