"Forget distant galaxies, focus on realistic harms like AI killing everyone" joke lands
NathanpmYoung · x · 2026-09-13
IsaacKing314 posted an ironic jab at AI-risk discourse: while people debate scenarios like AI conquering distant galaxies, he says we should focus on the "realistic near-term harms — like AI killing everyone on Earth." NathanpmYoung amplified it. The joke plays on the absurd gap between sci-fi far-futures and equally extreme 'near-term' warnings.
