Can someone help me understand the lore behind the claim "what the AI companies are working on will kill us all"?

Because from where I'm sitting, it looks like this:

1. LLMs and machine learning
2. Secret research
3. ???
4. Sentient self-improving AI arises and kills us all

But maybe I'm confused about the lore?

(For context, this post was inspired by https://bsky.app/profile/faineg.bsky.social/post/3mvlgfb5jus2c , which I learned about from @hyperreal )

“End Times Fascism”: Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor on Billionaires, Bunkers, AI, Gaza & the Far Right

Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor launch their new book, End Times Fascism: And the Fight for the Living World on Democracy Now! It examines how wealthy elites are preparing for “the end of the world,” even as they contribute to growing inequality, political instability and the climate crisis. The rise of modern-day fascism is “not simply a rerun,” explains Klein. “We don’t believe that history repeats on a loop. We believe that we’re in something more like a sequel, where the logics of fascism, which are the logics of dehumanization, of othering, of racial supremacy and hierarchy, are now being applied in a time of global existential crisis.” In response, says Taylor, the growing movement seeking to resist this fatalistic vision “fundamentally needs to be grounded in a desire to stay here on Earth, to commit to this place.”

@gilduran to @thorbenson in a interview for #DepthPerception about his new book, "The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism & the War on Democracy":

"I believe it’s becoming one of the defining stories of American history — the effort by Silicon Valley venture capitalists to seize control of the nation & essentially roll back democracy.

...I think we’re in a phase right now where we need to make people aware of exactly what’s happening & why it’s happening. In my book, I point the finger at these evil oligarchs, but we’re complicit in that. We’re giving them all of our attention & our money.

...We have to rethink how everything has been structured around us. We deserve technology. It’s something we, I think, have a right to. But right now, it’s being controlled by a smaller & smaller group of people who have the worst ideas for the future, who see a dystopian future."

Alas, for this iteration of #Fascism, #Longtermism, part of the #TESCREAL group 1), it does make twisted sense:

"Loosers' lives" are not worth keeping.
"Feeding the poor," or "vaccinating the masses" cost huge amounts of money that are then not available for tax cuts for the #FilthyRich and the central "#ColonizeMars" goals...

Key threads for #TESCREAL and #Longtermism:

It's amazing to me that both the secular and evangelical cults within MAGA are apocalyptic in nature, with their own versions of "the rapture". For TESCREALists, it's the singularity. For Evangelicals, it's disappearing into the ether to "meet with Jesus"

Oh nein!

Ö1 bespricht gänzlich unkritisch das neue Buch von Will MacAskill, der nicht nur EA ist, sondern mittlerweile auch die Radikalisierung zum Longterministen vollzogen hat.

Die neue radikalisierte Generation von EAs empfiehlt übrigens 80% der Spenden für die Bekämpfung von Existential Risk(!) auszugeben + nur 5% gegen den Klimawandel, enough said.
