> Elon Musk — who is, don’t forget, the head of a major AI lab — has said that AI is just as dangerous as nukes

Unherd keeps advancing the state-of-the-art in absentminded opinion columns. Can the author not fathom why Elon and Altman amplify this discussion?

"Elon Musk wants your attention again, don't forget that he's supposed to be a very smart individual!"

I agree they, Altman, Elon etc. amplify it as a kind of marketing. In the same way deodorant companies like to talk about how their deodorant can last 48 hrs, when most people will usually never go that long without showering. But that doesn't mean it isn't dangerous, it doesn't mean the deodorant can't actually last 48hrs.

What if the AI just outcompetes us all, by being better at capitalism, to the point all humans are just an underclass beneath a machine ascendancy class? Even the human CEO's and even the politicians eventually get pushed out by machines that have the capability to both campaign and govern 24/7

You turn on the TV and you see AI avatars talking about how violent all humans are. BrianKilmeade.AI talking about how we all need lethal injection. Less extreme AI's that don't want to cull us but still want to move us to reservations in regions they less prefer.
