The machines are coming for us, or so we’re told. Not today, but soon enough that we must seemingly reorganize civilization around their arrival. This narrative has very little to do with any scientific consensus, emerging instead from particular corridors of power. The loudest prophets of superintelligence are those building the very systems they warn against. When Sam Altman speaks of artificial general intelligence’s existential risk to humanity while simultaneously racing to create it, or when Elon Musk warns of an AI apocalypse while founding companies to accelerate its development, we’re seeing politics masked as predictions.
