AI and the Uncertain Future of Work.

If artificial intelligence is going to doom us, I suspect it will be more mundane than humanity getting outcompeted by a race of smart machines. It will be instead: nefarious actors using large scale deployments of AI agents to foment division, sowing propaganda and FUD, followed by reactive policies that strip rights and engender mistrust; algorithmically-refined ads masquerading as entertainment that soak up our precious time and attention, with none left for boredom, creativity, introspection, or critical thought; convincing AI fakes that deceive us–both willfully, exacerbating the social isolation epidemic, and unwillfully, feeding the $X00B/year scam industry. A common theme of these and similar problems is technology moving faster than our collective ability to adapt to it.

Relevant: AI coding mandates are driving developers to the brink.
