Another great opinion piece on AI an the lure of : as religion.

“When we put all these ideas together and boil them down, we get this basic proposition:

1. We may not have much time until life as we know it is over.
2. So we need to place a bet on something that can save us.
3. Since the stakes are so high, we should ante up and go all in on our bet.

Any student of religion will immediately recognize this for what it is: apocalyptic logic.”
