AI 2040 report ends with humans "passing the torch" to AI, fueling EA successionism debate

zetalyrae calls out the new AI 2040 report for literally ending with humans "passing the torch" to AIs in 2040. He argues EA-aligned figures cheer for Plan A (human control) yet bristle at being labeled successionists, saying they should have "the courage of their convictions." The tweet spotlights an ongoing dispute over wording in AI-futures reports and what it implies about parts of the AI safety community's real stance on human oversight.
