Investor Stewart Alsop III argues the real AI risk is cybersecurity, not doomer narratives. His proposed framework: essential systems like hospitals and energy should be fully airgapped with staff who can write code unassisted, while everything else should be open source — since it will be open source anyway. Ironically, he says the best path to this future is ignoring the technology's creators, who are "on the Jim Jones path."
