I was on board with this article until they described all the power fantasies that techbros were having as facts. AI isn't going to kill us because it grows sentient and "gets ahold of nuclear codes"; AI will kill us through sheer, painful, ecological collapse as Techbros seek to scale their models ever larger with more datacenters. Either that, or the economy collapses first, killing the tech (and likely the Techbros), and leaving us to ecological collapse anyways because of 200 years of industrial ratfuckery on a planetary scale.
AI won't kill us because it's smart, it'll kill us because it's so, SO dumb.
