These dudes are convinced AI is gonna wipe us out despite the fact it can't even figure out the right number of fingers to give us.

We're so far away from this being a problem that it never will be, because climate change will have killed us all long before the machines have a chance to.

That's the point, they don't believe it's gonna wipe us out, it's just a convenient story for them
