Simple rule for what and how to write: - If it isn’t clear they won’t understand it - If it isn’t interesting they won’t read it

So “AI doomers” are telling us that we won’t survive AI and that it will replace humans You think the human brain (when pushed hard) sees claims like “AI is a biological computer” and will give up? Nobody ever won fighting nature Adapt (best fit for the environment)
