    There are apparently people out there that take “Roko’s basilisk” and such seriously, they might come close to that i guess.

      Roko’s basilisk

      I sort of do, but not because I think AI will become a sentient overlord. IMO AI will inevitably be refined as a tool for cyber warfare and oppression.

      I feel like younger generations will be even more susceptible to malicious AI because their entire lives have a digital footprint. We think AI chatbots are manipulative now? Just wait until they can train their manipulation tactics using your baby photos and childhood memories.

      And again this would all be at the direction of a human. I don’t subscribe to the idea of an AGI overlord. At the same time I do expect AIs capabilities to continue improving drastically
