Dean Ball, OpenAI's head of strategic futures, wrote that he has met well-resourced individuals who intend to deliberately release swarms of self-sovereign agents into the world. Blogger Garrison Lovely highlighted this quote as alarming, drawing parallels to Google cofounder Larry Page's indifference to humanity's existence. Lovely argued that the threat posed by crypto and network state adherents should have been taken seriously earlier, noting that unlike crypto, these forces could literally end the world.
