> AI is a tool wielded by humans. If we’re wiped out by AI, it will be at the direction of a human.

Being deliberately wiped out seems like it's mostly a misdirection away from the damage that's actually happening.

I'm sure some of the AI people high on their own supply believe it. And because the consequences are so negative, we should react as though the supposed experts were sane -- but I think it's a long shot that they are.

The bigger risk is that we end up in a rapidly enshittifying dystopia, treated as a cost center that needs to be optimized, and unable to competitively participate in the economy.

I have a number of successful AI investors in my social circle who are already placing their bets on a poorer and more disenfranchised humanity, with money going away from consumer tech, and towards a mix of B2B tech and policing.
