on ‘We’re plausibly close to crossing the line’: are warnings of uncontrollable AI coming true? in c/technology@beehaw.org · 5 Sep 2026
Saying humanity is “being swept down a raging river” is spot on, except it’s an analogy for basically everything except GAI.
Climate change, rampant fascism, unrestrained capitalism, take your pick. We’re speeding towards 3 or 4 dystopias but a super intelligent AI isn’t one of them.

on I rented a car, and within hours, my driver’s license was for sale in c/technology@beehaw.org · 4 Sep 2026
On the flip side, I cancelled my Progressive home+auto insurance because they had become way too expensive. While on the phone she was trying to convince me to start a new home quote to see if that would lower my rates. She asked if my roof was still 30 years old. Wishing to end the conversation quicker, I lied and said yes despite getting it replaced 6 months ago.
Since then I have gotten two texts and several phone calls per day from companies claiming to be working my area who see that I need a new roof.
