Blogger pushes back on AI doomerism: AI is the only tech that dynamically protects life
TinfoilTricorn · x · 2026-10-13
Blogger TinfoilTricorn argues there is no existential or civilization-ending AI risk: wicked intent is countered by good intent, and AI is the first technology that can dynamically protect life and reduce damage without human intervention. He dismisses world-ending simulation experiments as speculative fiction that mostly causes collateral damage, and says success should be measured by what people build, not what they destroy.
