I’m kind of impressed how paranoid this piece is. I saw some MSM articles about “AIs making a religion” when these "religion"s were described and then discarded, but apparently whoever wrote this just assumed you’d been fed your media slop already, and he could focus on the doomsday scenario.

We don’t care whether you’re scared or amazed : TALK ABOUT IT.
