The language in this post is disinformation. AI does not “scheme,” but that’s the wording the post uses for its duration.
Upon looking a little closer, this is a fearmonger website devoted to overinflating claims of AI power while ignoring real-life present-day harms. They claim to be inspired by Sam Bankman-Fried’s Effective Altruism scam.
