The whole "AI safety" field is this incompetent. These people that will tell you AI is on the verge of creating a bioweapon, and then run random code in a command line. Completely and totally unserious.

    I don’t know what the hell has happened, but some of these people are basically human jellyfish. Big tech is full of them now.

    No thought enters their mind, but they dodge the layoffs and the PIPs and get promoted like this.

    I don’t fucking get it.

    It's just the natural progression of a disease that spreads outwards from Management. The bosses want yes-men, not people capable of independent thought.

    The "AI safety" field is about two things: marketing AIs as so powerful that they're risky to use but riskier to get left behind by competitors using, and keeping AIs from doing so much brand damage that stock price suffers. This story is about marketing an AI as powerful.
