      These warnings and fears would be a little easier to hear if they weren’t pushed so hard by the most disingenuous people ever. Sounds like they want everyone else to pause so they can get ahead.

        The most obnoxious ones are not only the loudest but they tend to get more screen time. You won’t see Gebru on cable news as often as you might get ol’ Yud talking about some vengeful AI god.
