This cult stuff was tired in 2010 (hey, at least back then there was One True Leader!) and not any less tired now.

I'm not sure how else we are to interpret the behavior of the AI doomers & the AI developers (who are frequently the same people)
This was fun games until their fictional machine god started actually getting very intelligent.
There is a fairly specific definition of what a cult is, and just being publicly worried about an existential risk isn’t that.
Would you at least concede that the Zizian offshoot was a cult? They murdered multiple people!

If you all believe in the same prophecy and hang out at the same orgies together, I'm willing to call that a "cult", at least in the colloquial sense.
