Keith Vertrees @vertrees.co · 16/09/2026I think it’s a bit more complex than that. They know AI is being pursued to “solve labor” under the guise of “improving quality of life for everyone”, but the politics in tech have become so reactionary that engaging with that honestly isn’t really allowed, so the fear finds other outlets. 100

Keith Vertrees @vertrees.co · 16/09/2026I think a lot of it traces back to Nick Bostrom’s “Superintelligence”, where he claims that ASI will be so much smarter than us that we won’t even understand what it’s doing or how it’s doing it, so when pressed on how AI will lead to apocalypse they can use that excuse to not critically engage. 200
