"AI" – chatbots that wake up, "set their own goals," and "spontaneously" start hacking servers – is fake. It doesn't have "a 10% chance of ending the human race." The Hugging Face hack isn't a mysterious, supernatural occurrence. It's a Python loop and a chatbot. The people responsible didn't accidentally create god: they created autonomous malicious software and then failed to closely monitor it, resulting in it doing something both foreseeable and bad.

the actions of this system cannot be predicted by anyone.

Reminds me of TempleOS where the author thought a random number generator sends messages from god. It was fun when it's just one person experiencing psychosis in a non-violent way. But the mass AI psychosis is the opposite of fun.
