We're basically already at a point where most enterprise documentation is written partly or entirely by AI, and then read mostly by AI. Eventually true understanding of e.g. how to build a docker-compose file will be genuinely rare. And they want to apply that model to everything.

The risk isn't that GAI will decide, in an Asmovian sense, that the best way to make peace on earth is to kill us all, or that to achieve it's manufacturing quota it must transmute all matter in the universe I to paperclips. The real risk is that the MBA-wielding professional-managerial class will not be able to resist the siren song of demolishing labor with something that works "well enough." Eventually they're going to put it in charge of something critical like ATC or dam control or the electrical grid.

Humans, by our nature, are diverse, and one fuck up rarely cascades through the entire global system. We make small fuck ups and train each other. AI "learns" by observing and probabilistically imitating, and one model could be deployed in a thousand places and screw up the exact same way.

tldr ai won't kill us, our bosses will once Anthropic wines and dines them

If they do put it in ATC or dams or whatever, and there are deaths, I am optimistic enough that there are enough politicians isolated from it that they can ban AI from those usecases. I don't really think AI will ever effect 100% of earths population directly enough that it can't be controlled

Nah, everything is going to be fine. And if it isn't? I'll lie to myself to be happy.

the best way to make sure everything is some flavor of fine is to keep learning new practical skills. I got pretty doomery there. But the other technological trend that can't really be stopped is decentralization. Communities can, and will continue to be able, to grow their own food and produce their own power. Knowing how to make thst stuff happen is going to be incredibly important in the rest of the 21st century
