it's good to see this laid out clearly, but i'm once again going to point to Peter Naur's 1985 essay "Programming as Theory Building"
The present discussion is a contribution to the understanding of what programming is. It suggests that programming properly should be regarded as an activity by which the programmers form or achieve a certain kind of insight, a theory, of the matters at hand. This suggestion is in contrast to what appears to be a more common notion, that programming should be regarded as a production of a program and certain other texts.

Literally the ROOT of this extinction theory is Nick Bostrom, who, in his list of 20 or so or whatever potential "existential risks," he had dysgenic pressures, along with so-called super intelligence. This is public information, he wrote it in a "paper."

Right now, WAY too many resources and way too much attention are going to largely silly Hypothetical Futuristic AI Doom Scenarios - because that's what the AI Millenarian Death Cult cares about - instead of actual, right-now, AI harms. And they've been getting away with it for too long.

Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

When my book first came out I said it was about "the terrible ideas that tech billionaires have about the future and why they won't work." That wasn't *wrong*, but I said that because I didn't think anyone would take me seriously if I said "it's about a sex cult that controls multiple AI companies"

This is a great example of how AI is about complicating one's life instead of simplifying it. She doing a start up to book activities for kids as though the places don't have booking sites? So, being so busy creating a new level of complication, she outsources parenting to a chatbot.

A consistent pitch by the makers of ai wearables is that they solve the problem of getting to know your child. www.businessinsider.com/parents-brea...
Molly, who runs a startup to help parents book activities for kids, is willing to use AI for logistics, like meal planning or sorting through her email to surface the most important messages from their daughter's school. Sean, who works in tech sales, wants to go further. He has his eyes on Omi necklace, an AI wearable that listens in on your day and includes a feature called Parent Whisperer. It records and analyzes interactions between parent and child, logging things like school assignments and supplies to order. The device also picks up on tone, alerting parents when their kid may be unhappy — registering everything from "from toddler tantrums to teenage mood swings," per its ad copy — and offering "expert-backed guidance" on how to respond.
