@ryanc @rysiek Well… Waking up The Great Dreamer to be consumed first is basically the basis of AI accelerationism movement (they call it themselves).

And to the point about safety: it’s basically the main argument of AI doomers (they don't call it themselves but seem to get into the name as of late). It's important to get AI right the first try because we might not get a second chance. Where AI is often AGI (which is a stated goal of OpenAI and Meta, at least) but doesn't have to be. Bringing an existential threat onto everyone might be not as easy as 7 words but all these AI systems are released as if it's completely impossible.
