By your own claims ... you're in the less than 0.5% of the population who "gets it"

That's a ... pretty extraordinary thing to say: placing yourself into the 3rd standard deviation on a bell curve?

You sure you want to be that confident in such a minority viewpoint?

Maybe you're right ... outliers do exist - but they're just that outliers

Among people who have hitched their career wagon to "progress in computing", maybe AI killeveryoneism is the viewpoint of a small minority, but a survey of the general public found that about 40% of young people worry that AI will kill everyone.
