It's almost funny how all those AI doomsday scenarios are actually meant to prop up investment in AI.

See how Amodei and Altman are usually the ones pushing these narratives on how worried they are by the incredible advancements of their respective companies' creatures. They are so, so worried about the demise of the human race and how fast it's coming.

And I sort of understand them because whatever disruption they are peddling needs to happen very fast or they will all run out of money. But what does it tell about the rest of the human race that we are actually buying into it and pouring money into creating a dystopian future?
