The new book “If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies” aims to explain why superintelligent AI would eliminate humanity. But along the way, the authors “fail to make an evidence-based scientific case for their claims,” Adam Becker argues:
The Useful Idiots of AI Doomsaying
Those who predict that superintelligence will destroy humanity serve the same interests as those who believe that it will solve all of our problems.

Yup. We'd really appreciate it.
I can't get boosted, for very serious medical reasons.
Your vaccination mostly only protects you, and even then not as much as you've been led to think by the government. (Sorry to share the bad news.) You wearing a mask actually also protects me and others like me.

I’m going to say this louder this time: if you are lying about having a high-risk condition to get a Covid vaccine, all good, do what you want to do BUT show some actual goddamn respect for people who *actually* have that condition and start masking.

When you spent $25 million on your birthday party but the tanks were old and the clown wasn’t funny and the taco bowls didn’t have enough cheese and all the cool kids went to a different party.

Look, even Harlan Crow can’t afford a house for EVERY judge’s mom
Stunning. May was brutal for Trump in federal court: 96% loss rate ⚖️. Even GOP-appointed judges have ruled against the admin 72% of the time. District courts are doing their job defending the Constitution. Soon the Supreme Court may be the only court unwilling to defend the rule of law.
