I am more concerned about "ai safety" narratives legitimating cybernetic control of society by proxy.

"We have to control the AI because it's SO POWERFUL." And so they get to control society by proxy by controlling AI.

This is climate change. This is covid. This is quantum. This is kids on the Internet. Racism, antisemitism and misogyny! AGI!

The biggest real threat is the people who want us to be afraid and give them power.

I find the fear mongering hype of big AI disgusting.

I'd rather see every random joe in the world building nukes and cooking bioweapons in their garage than give these people any more power.

Hyperbole, but you get my point.

I have that to. DigitalID to be allowed on the human net. I rather hang out with the agents. Its why I am thrilled about the current state of Nostr. Its happening here first, so lets see what solutions are found to preserve human connection on a platform robots can so easily flood. If it can be done here it undermines all the digitalid nonsense they may pull later elsewhere.

Exactly. We have an opportunity to solve these problems for ourselves and frontrun the control system's excuses, as Bitcoin got in front of CDBCs and made them obviously unnecessary for any purpose OTHER than control
