People love threatening to murder people for legally riding bikes. Of course drivers regularly hit cyclists riding in painted bike lanes or shoulders. It's almost like motorists don't need any excuse to inflict violence upon bicyclists.

The AI superintelligence scare campaign distracts media, politicians, and much of the public from the many ways generative AI is already harming people and taking lives all around the world. That’s why it’s so essential to stop echoing the tech industry’s deception. disconnect.blog/the-media-ha...

When we talk about the threat of AI superintelligence, we’re not talking about how chatbots are aiding mass shooters. We’re not talking about how chatbot dependence is pushing people into mental health spirals and threatening people’s ability to learn and think critically. We’re not talking about the women and children who are victims of non-consensual deepfakes or how AI-generated false information is flooding social media platforms, sometimes just for profit, but other times for much more nefarious reasons.

That’s not to mention to threat to jobs in a whole range of sectors, or how employers are rolling out AI tools to further surveil and deskill workers. It’s also doesn’t get to the other major aspect of all those AI tools: the growing controversy around the hyperscale data centers needed to power them and the whole range of social and environmental consequences that accompany them.
