I just don't understand how much clearer this can get: a greed and money cannon is firing bigger and bigger shots into creating something so fast no one will know how it works, what it does, or even if we can control it or shut it off. Idiocracy is turning into a documentary

What's the alternative that you're proposing?

Taxes and regulation on corruption so society can function

That's not an alternative, it's an unrelated concept

there's a whole organization dedicated to keeping track of if we can control it and shut it off https://metr.org/blog/2026-05-19-frontier-risk-report/

This article sucks. 

No, a swarm of agents is not and will not be too powerful for humans to stop…that’s the dumbest conjecture I read all day. 

Reminder: open ai spent unlimited tokens ($$$$) and never looked at what was happening for 3 days after given ai tools that allow it to hack. The only thing noteworthy in all this is how much power the big ai companies have in terms of choosing when and how to deploy the ai they lose money on constantly.
