Terminated: The depressingly inevitable march towards Skynet

Hi - I'm a former strat comms guy turned AI strategist. I've spent the past two years laser focused on adoption at a FTSE 250. Despite getting some strong results, we had the CFO blow up everyone's budget in Dec, and consequently left as the best I could do for people going forward was Copilot.

I'm typically not on social media, so come back after a long time away to see an absolute tonne of inane drivel on LinkedIn and Twitter. One thing that's really stunned me is the complete lack of awareness when it comes to risk. As such, one of the things I'm trying is to highlight risk we're seeing at the cusp of this and explain it in ways that hopefully connect with the average interested person.

Picked on Musk making Grok into Skynet in this first piece. If you enjoy it, would greatly appreciate a like or a share. If you didn't, would appreciate your feedback so I can improve for the next one. I am aware it's longer than most of the crap I'm seeing online atm, but not a fan of this whole 'give it to me bitesized' culture that's emerged in recent years.

Thanks!
