Except that's not at all what is happening in the office.
Its only Bernice, the office hypochondriac, the one who fainted from toxic shock when a can of sardines was opened.
Its a vocal minority that care about #AiRisks
And most are vegans in a meateater world.Most people don't give a damn about the societal destruction about to be wrought by #Ai
Ask me how I know?
I'll tell you, for the past 3 years I have been active politically in an effort to #regulateAi and people's response is between derision/incredulity and apathy. -

AI Won’t Fix Bad Thinking
By Cliff Potts, CSO, and Editor-in-Chief of WPS News
Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines — June 13, 2026
Some people think AI will make their work better no matter what. It won’t.
AI can help you write faster and organize ideas, but it cannot fix weak thinking. If your idea is unclear, your result will still be unclear. If your facts are wrong, AI can repeat those mistakes.
The tool follows your lead.
This is why checking your work still matters. You need to ask, “Does this make sense?” and “Is this true?” AI will not always catch that for you. Sometimes it sounds confident even when it is wrong.
That is a risk if you are not paying attention.
Think of AI like a mirror. It reflects what you give it. If you give it strong ideas, it helps you shape them. If you give it weak ideas, it makes them sound better than they are.
That can fool you if you are not careful.
The goal is not to let AI think for you. The goal is to use AI to support your thinking.
Better thinking still wins.

Two legal scholars assert that AI, by its very design, undermines democratic institutions, even when used properly.
They highlight three corrosive "affordances":
• atrophy of expertise,
• moral decisions short-circuited,
• social isolation, which undermines dissent and agency.Woodrow Hartzog, Jessica Silbey (2026). "How AI Destroys Institutions" https://scholarship.law.bu.edu/faculty_scholarship/4179/

Decision-makers are navigating on sight. Meetings do not consider the costs of unwinding decisions.
“Sixty-four percent said the fear of falling behind drives them to invest in technologies before they understand the value.”
“AI does not make bad executives worse. It gives them a faster way to prove they are bad.”

Autonomous AI Exposes Gaps in Enterprise Resilience Plans
As organizations deploy autonomous AI, they're exposing gaps in their resilience plans, putting business continuity at risk and creating new operational and infrastructure challenges for IT teams to navigate. Traditional security and recovery models are ill-equipped to handle the machine-speed, dynamic environments that…

The prEN 18228 Problem: Why Your AI Risk Assessment Will Fail the First Real Test
Most AI risk assessments look solid on paper and collapse the moment a regulator, client, or auditor asks a simple question. What exactly can go wrong, how likely is it, and what does it cost when it does. That gap is about to matter more. A new European standard, prEN 18228, sets out a formal process for managing risks in AI systems across their full life cycle. It is designed to support regulatory expectations by requiring organizations to identify hazards, estimate and evaluate risks, […] -

The window of opportunity is still open.
'The fact that agentic Al systems can currently undertake only comparatively simple tasks does not mean the policy community can sit and wait. The early stages of development of a technology provide critical windows of opportunity—that can close very quickly-for implementing effective safety and security measures.'Excerpt from 'Before it's too late: Why a world of interacting Al agents demands new safeguards' by Dr Vincent Boulanin, Dr Alexander Blanchard and Dr Diego Lopes da Silva for #SIPRI: https://bit.ly/46LQpnS

We legitimise the existence of carcinogenic cigarettes
We legitimise the existence of militaries
We legitimise the existence of usurious "banking" system that literally destroys lives
We legitimise the existence of industry that destroys earth life support systems
We legitimise the existence of an economic system based in exploitation of the workers
I could go on forever...
The alternative to prohibition is regulation.
And if for some freaky reason, #Ai dissapears, the only people who will have access to Ai will be billionaires and thats not the future you think you want.The #AiBubble, if it happens will just mean consolidation of the industry into fewer hands.
Unlike most of the Luddites who are just going through their first #AiAnxiety, I've had 35 years to think about AI and humanity, #RegulateAi is the only rational way to mitigate the #Airisks
That's not just my opinion, it's what the international peak science and political class thinks (Bletchely and Seoul agreements)
Anyway, just how effective efforts to regulate Ai are is the fact that Peter Thiel thinks folks like me, who strive to regulate Ai are the literal #Antichrist
He doesn't care about the #resistance, they are not even on his radar.
