I spent a *lot* of time thinking seriously about this and researching it for my book. It's just not true. We don't need to spend more time giving air to AI doom cultists or AI hype hucksters. They have captured enough of the public imagination already. Here's something shorter I wrote on this:
The Useful Idiots of AI Doomsaying
Those who predict that superintelligence will destroy humanity serve the same interests as those who believe that it will solve all of our problems.

My heart aches for my grandchildren and their generation who have grown up in this era. They are either living in fear or are indoctrinated. Recovery will take generations. This trauma is now part of the US psyche.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.
These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.

look at how little effort it takes for someone on the conservative grievance circuit to destroy a life
millions of college kids have half assed an assignment at the last minute, you eat the F and move on
but the effort to push trans people out of public life will use whatever it can get

Gender-affirming care saves lives
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

CO lawmakers amended a bill that would have paused wolf releases in the state, overcoming budget debates to push the bill to the Governor's desk.
They capitalized on diverse funding sources and public support to evade another attempt to halt the voter-led reintroduction.
