Not even touching your caricature of the AI argument, but “most dangerous sentiment [in] civilization right now” is a crazy thing to say during the current global political zeitgeist.
Whether it’s neighbors blocking housing, union bosses blocking port automation at the height of COVID, medical association’s controlling doctor quotas it’s the same sentiment, a fear of change.
I grant that a healthy distrust of the (capitalist) parties involved is fine but the reaction when given power is the same, veto: Stop everything now. Change is scary.
