😜 P.S. Thanks to #xkcd for original comic/idea xkcd.com/2052/ #StanislavPetrov

An xkcd comic panel featuring two stick figures. The figure on the left holding a smartphone says, "Hey, Saturday was Stanislav Petrov Day. We missed it." The figure on the right responds, "Oh, shoot! I got a calendar alert for it, but I assumed it was a false alarm."

I believe if the AI arms race slows down, the whole circular financing scheme propping it up collapses, stocks tank, tech leaders' cult of personality is exposed as a sham, and everything goes to hell. It would be painful for humanity as a whole, but it just might be beneficial.
