The image is of a four panel comic. The title reads "Poltergeist".
In the first panel we see a woman with a worried expression on her face. She says, "stuff keeps moving around my house."
In the second panel the same woman says "I'm terrified. I can't sleep."
In the third panel we see a ghost holding a candle and a pillow that reads "live laugh love". The ghost is zooming through the house.
In the fourth panel we see the same ghost hanging up a frame and thinking, "home decor is my passion".

AI gaining sentience and destroying us all? It struggles to do math most high school students could do. I'm not saying a rogue AI agent couldn't wreak some havoc, but the most likely scenario is an AI agent is prompted to wreak havoc by someone who wants to break things.

The next layer of big threats to humanity come from malicious actors--state and individual--using AI to supercharge things they're already doing, like hijacking critical infrastructure, but again, this is on the human side.

I try not to talk about my day job a whole lot here, but in my professional opinion, the biggest threats coming from AI in the next 10 years are environmental, economic, and political, almost entirely due to the outrageous greed and unchecked power of tech oligarchs.

There are reasons other than net take-home pay that generations of American parents steered their kids toward college. I don't see how "go into construction!" is helpful unless paired with more robust worker protections and a true safety net, especially in right to work states.
