Keith Byrne @keithinkrakow.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I honestly don't get it. The AI CEO's say nothing these days apart from "AI will maybe kill us all", or "AI will make us less intelligent", or "AI will be impossible tom control" and still expect us to be okay with that. I long for the days of "AI will figure out a way for itself to pay off!" 001
