The AI apocalypse will be caused by believers who destroy the world trying to make AI save it

What Jiang said

“The real AI apocalypse. The real apocalypse where the people in charge are so convinced that AI will save the world that they will destroy it in order to make it possible.”

Analysis

The people running AI companies are cultists who believe AGI will bring about a 'rapture.' They will trigger wars and destruction to create conditions where AGI can rule, destroying the world in the process of trying to save it.
