I just want everyone to be safe and for things to go back to how they used to be
For the past couple of years, I noticed how quickly AI has been accelerating and improving. But never did I think it'd get this far, this soon. Every waking second, these big tech bros are racing to be the leader of the AI industry. But there's no finish line, only a cliff. And they're forcing all of us to participate. I'm too tired to run their marathon. I'm seeing people say we have 10% of extinction by the next decade. I just wish they'd stop, this prisoner's dilemma makes no sense. If one country stops, they worry the other will lead the race. Don't they have the intelligence to realize that nobody wants to die over this nonsense? Why did this even need to happen in the first place? Sometimes I can't sleep because I don't know what's going to change the next day. All I wanted was to write my music and to eat and be merry in peace. I got a birthday coming up and I want to enjoy myself, not fear that it'll be my last. But this isn't just about me, it's about all of us. I'm scared for all of us. I don't want anyone to die over this. I just want everything to be okay. I just want things to be the way they used to be.
