people. God, we might as well give it all up and find a place to hide under, per these people.

Think of the things positive, that have been accomplished. WE got a cure for various strains of COVID, and growth of solar and wind energies is amazing. And, we haven't used any nuclear weapons, and the world's population is sizably larger than it was decades ago, and people are still, for the most part being fed.

And this blurb about AI increasing risks? Maybe, but the benefits are there too.

This fear-mongering needs to stop, I ignore it for the most part, for I'm not going to live in fear like these people seem to want the rest of us to live in.
