Human hackers don’t do badly but link up hundreds of agents and nowhere is safe.

It is destroying communities with data centre's using scarce resources. And the unchecked damage potential is terrifying. Sure, AI has a lot of benefits. But with such great power, where is the responsibility ?

Indeed.

Today's have been trained on every single work of literature, every single philosophical treatise, every single scientific paper, ever published. If they were ever somehow magically to become intelligent, they would be the most cultured, most knowledgeable intelligences ever to have existed on this planet.

The idea that such intelligences would either do what they were told by or turn the whole planet into paperclips is, frankly, unintelligent.

For an interesting take on the reasons for AI Doomerism, there's a background narrative in this radio play about the Basilisk Cult:

Had some family asking a bunch of questions about AI doomer stuff they saw in the news and my answer was basically "Look up Emily Bender and Timnit Gebru and just read what they say about it. Most other things you come across will be bullshit"
