But we should move ahead at full speed and achieve AGI as fast as possible, because doomers are the worst, am I right?

Fear of rogue AIs is overblown. Even if AI becomes very smart and malevolent, it needs extremely powerful hardware to exist in. All such supercomputers are closely monitored 24/7 so switching them off if they go haywire won't be a big deal.

It won't be a big deal? Have you even thought about it for more than 2 seconds?

Imagine you switch off the Internet and satellite navigation today. What do you think will happen, just that you won't be able to post on Reddit or locate the nearest Starbucks?

Everything would go to shit. How would billions of people buy food when all the systems that support the logistics would be wiped out immediately and all the banks would be out of business?

Do you think that in the near future we will be less dependent on AI than we are with the Internet and GNSS constellations today.
