Quinn Norton @quinn.yoyodyne-it.eu · 30/09/2026I just live in a continuous headache derived from AI nonsense. Gates called AI the most dangerous thing humans have ever gone near.

Quinn Norton @quinn.yoyodyne-it.eu · 30/09/2026We are still one space rock, supervolcano, or GRB away from having *real* problems. How the hell is AI supposed to kill us all? It generates media in a datacenter. It can communicate over networks. It only causes psychosis in people who talk to it. 100
Quinn Norton @quinn.yoyodyne-it.eu · 30/09/2026Is it going to mind control people into launching nukes? Because all these systems require people to do physical things in the real world. Like the two guys turning a key in a place to make an important thing happen. They were designed that way *because of computers.* 100
