So basically, the original article is about an AI huckster amping the FUD in order to push through some sort of corporate control of the technology, using fear of the bullshit they're spinning as the justification.

I brought in the analogy of Chicken Little, inflating the scope of a threat to one of apocalyptic proportions, which is exactly what is taking place here.

First responder to me brought in the climate analogy, presumably as a means of getting me to think that maybe I'm the fool here by ignoring the real scientist who, hey, has a Nobel Prize! Or at least, the theoretical meteorologist in his metaphor does, and therefore maybe me, with no Nobel Prize, should just be respectful of the expert here.

I responded by pointing out that the Nobel committee are morons who gave a Peace prize to one of the worst war criminals of the 20th century and pressed the fact that we have thirty years+ of scientific concensus about climate change, along with a lot of corporate funded think tank noise that is running ideological interference, successfully so far. But you can only fool people for so long, it caught up to the tobacco industry and it will catch up to us.

The idiots amping up the FUD to seize control and the assholes pumping money into think tanks that generate endless climate denialist noise are the same people.
