I see what you're saying, but they're all on a continuum and it just depends where your perspective window lies. I could see AI as foundational to many new technologies in the future.

I agree we should shelf any AGI or ASI (which supposedly doesn't exist yet), however I think AI has many tangibly beneficial applications. The problem comes from the incentive structure of the Epstein class and their investments into surveillance and profit extraction.
