You could have said the same about every catastrophe that got out of control. Chances are they will eventually gain unauthorized access to something and we will either get lucky or we get the real life Terminator series (minus time travel so we are f**ed)

Such as what? War?

Climate change still hasn't delivered on all the fear, and it's totally unclear whether it will extinct the human race (clathrate gun, etc.) or make Russia an agricultural and maritime superpower.

We still haven't nuked ourselves, and look at what all the fear around nuclear power has bought us: more coal plants.

The fear over AI terminator will not save us from a fictional robot Armageddon. It will result in a hyper-regulatory captured industry that's hard to break into.

We haven’t avoided nuking ourselves by all holding hands and chanting “We believe there is no nuclear risk”
