Noooo bernie and cezar fell for the bait :(

The only reason that AI firms constantly talk about "the dangers of superintelligent ai" is because it implies that they are appraoching true artificial intelligence, but more so that it distracts regulators from the actual mundane harms of their companies. It throws the whole conversation into this bizarre realm of sci-fi speculation where nobody can be right because its all completely untestable..... because AI doesn't exist and likely won't be based on current ML technology.
