emilygorcenskiDo you want to read almost 9,000 words on AI, manifest destiny, millenarian cults, evangelical christianity, the singularity, and how we have stopped trying to play God and now are trying to build God? Well here's your chance.
Luke Channings@emilygorcenski I just got around to reading this - I'm glad I did. It's thought provoking and very well written.

"This allows them to distract from and marginalize the real concerns about AI safety: mass unemployment, educational impairment, encoded social injustice, misinformation, and so forth. Singularity theorists get to have it both ways: they can keep moving towards their promised land without interference from those equipped to stop them."
Very well said. AI doesn't need to be an existential threat to humanity in order to be an economic threat to humanity.
