I'm not sure if AI is an existential threat to our species, but I am 100% certain that the techno-fascist broligarchs currently controlling our AI platforms are an existential threat to our species, and we should treat them as such and act accordingly.

A little weird that the pro-AI position is that it could potentially kill all of humanity and the anti-AI position is that it definitely won't. FWIW I think there's a range of plausible outcomes for e.g. rogue AI hacking that are very bad even if you take human extinction off the table.

The race between US and Chinese AI labs is both fascinating and scary. It took a while for OpenAI and Anthropic to admit what critics warned: frontier models are slipping the leash, agents probe systems they weren't supposed to reach, and cyber capabilities cross

"Misaligned, out-of-control AI won’t care if you’re Labour or Reform, Democrat or Republican, British or American or Chinese. We will all suffer from an AI takeover event, so it’s in everyone’s interest to prevent one," writes researcher @turntrout.bsky.social.

Anthropic is not a fan of people like me "interviews w/senior security officials at Anthropic show that the frontier AI lab is building out an extensive monitoring system to keep tabs on activists who oppose the rapid development of artificial intelligence" https:// prospect.org/2026/09/09/anthro…

Here's @fightforthefuture.org's take on the current AI "doom" news cycle. We can't trust a single fucking word these self-interested AI bro billionaires say. But we should take the danger of AI, both current and future, very very seriously.

“When we look around, we see a wide variety of tools and technologies. Often, they do not guarantee absolute accuracy, but they have a limited scope of application and require certain user skills. LLMs do not possess these characteristics, which is why I do not consider LLM tools to be tools. Most people don't use LLMs to make up for the lack of a…
