Also we live in an attention age and doomerism is popular on pretty much all sides. If you wanna piss of people tell them to chill out. I've experienced a lot of this.

Our AI is so amazing we are afraid it will become self aware and so we want DC to regulate it. Its so transparent to me that this is a scam. AGI has been right around the corner for a few years now.

Its not all rainbows and ponies but we aren't gonna end the world with AI. Its hogwash.
