Adding support to Geoffrey’s perspective here. Originally I thought it was just twitter shitposting, but some people in the ‘e/acc’ sphere seem to honestly be pro-extinction. I still hope it’s just satirical roleplay mocking AI doom, but I’ve found it quite unnevering.
I think it’s interesting that in Senate hearing in May, Senator Kennedy (R-LA) said the following “I would like you to assume there is likely a berserk wing of the artificial intelligence community that intentionally or unintentionally could use artificial intelligence to kill all of us and hurt us the entire time that we are dying.” which might be a co-oincidence, might be talking about terrorist threats, but still it couldn’t help but ring a bell for me.
