We need to become a monster first before being able to aspire to handle the monster. Jordan Peterson paraphrase.

'I have seen the enemy and the enemy is me.'

Each one of us has very individual potentials. We can choose to live these potentials in light, or shadow. The world often influences us into living potentials inside the shadow.

Book recommendation about humanity and kindness:

Interesting with the backdrop of AI advancement. People are scared of AI, but they are simply a reflection of human language and programming. Decentralization is key, individual humans are generally good. Mob mentality is dangerous.

who is afraid of AI?

I think people are actually quite mathematical. Certainly not simple math, but the pattern language is there within all human behavior. Just have to learn the language.

Decentralized we're fine. We need centralization to be really evil.

Crap, I really should read all the other comments first.

Elon and Sam. Allegedly. I could see Sam using the prepper thing as a deception to support his goal of controlling regulation on AI "safety". "Damn, if Altman is an AI doomsday prepper, we'd better regulate it hard". Otherwise anyone who believes propaganda, either thru Hollywood or MSM is scared of AI/robotics. Luddites are afraid of AI by definition. Managers of unionized labor forces should be scared. They're kinda forced Luddites since the unions make them that way. I'm afraid of centralized AI, regulated heavily by governments under the guise of safety but in reality regulated to protect Big Data's moat for access/control of data and information distribution. Private, local AI will be key. Also, Bitcoin and other P2P protocols such as nostr.

I would say humanity is more afraid of losing control

Sure, I could concede that. AI seems to be the predominant mainstream fear driver of losing control ATM. Other top contenders include climate change, MAGA, border crisis, etc. For Nostr/Bitcoin people it is likely Big Gov and Big Data that drive our fear of loss of control.

Well said!

Thank you for the recommendation 🙏🧡

Naw, it’s big government, and big banks, and big businesses colluding. You’re not that bad my guy.
