pixels:
the virgin “agi existential risk”
- programmer LARP fantasy that makes coding the signle most important skill for saving humanity
- entirely based on thought experiments
- zero evidence
- assumes that there’s this vaguely defined concept known as “intelligence” that can be linearly increased as if it were as matehmatical quantity
- projects an anthropomorphic drive toward control and power onto algorithms that just do statistics to spit out words; colonialist self-report
- sponsored by billionares who want to make thrie tachnology seem more important than it is
- blackmails you from the future using faulty logic; doesn’t actally make any sense
- “oh no, i guess we have to build the Doom Machine now. i guess the course of technological progress is inevitable, oh well”

- billionares don’t want you to think about it because it is too scary
- resist ideological simplification
- will actually kill you
- doesn’t even need intelligence to threaten humanity’s survival
- divine retribution for fossil capital’s greed and wanton exploration of the natural world
