Citrini Research just published a viral scenario for AI causing economic collapse by 2028. It's rattled AI proponents.

9. Once a decade

Someone starts yet another bout of desperately important apocalyptic scenarios. "The Coming Collapse of [insert latest bogeyman]". The inflationary 70s had people hoarding silver coins because "In the coming monetary collapse, you will not be able to purchase a loaf of bread for any amount of currently printed money, but you will be able to trade one for a silver quarter" etc etc. Then came the 80s with the scarcity thing and "Muddling Through to Frugality". Then the 90s when the prediction was that suburbia would be in conflict with cities, etc etc - that one was so bizarre I could barely follow it.

It just never stops. AI needs to be throttled because it's poorly written rubbish unsustainably powered that's going to keep failing, not because the end of the world is coming.
