This take really annoys me tbh
why is it more rational not to fear the robots than to fear them???
yeah terminator is a movie. you know what else is a movie? Armeggedon. Doesn't mean a giant meteor can't strike the earth. 2012 is a movie. Doesn't mean climate catastrophe can't wipe us out. Dr strangelove is a movie. Doesn't mean nuclear holocaust can't take us out.
What possible leg do you have to stand on in assuming that if we continue the progression towards AI that it can't end up backfiring and producing something that represents an existential threat? It's like through sheer hubris humans assume we're just gonna keep using robots as slaves forever and that no matter how advanced we make them they're never gonna turn around and **** us right in the ass with their artificially huge robot dick.
