My first thought was false flag. Is that too cynical?

I would go for out of touch, not cynical. A lot of people really think AI is the devil.

  • It will be hard to convince them otherwise when their jobs are replaced with AI, and they are in their late 40s or later - with no time to adjust and to learn new craft.

Possible, but unlikely. To organise such a stunt and keep undetected you're going to need other consigliere than what Sam's got I presume.

  • Like another commenter wrote... anyone can cast a fireball. Sam has been called a sociopath by many who know him personally. So it seems more likely than it might be otherwise.

It kind of fits with the behavior he exhibited as reported by Farrow in New Yorker article.
