You make a good point. Maybe the AI apocalypse will actually be when someone hooks up a cat brain to a super advanced AI.

No need. The 'apocalypse' will come purely out of the hubris and greed chasing untold fortunes as opposed to a healthy, considered integration.

The decision to scare the shit out of normal people early on was a short-term decision that will cost everyone dearly (it led non-technical people to believe in things about LLMs that just aren't true—even worse, they've now made difficult business decisions on bad information with seemingly limited consideration of secondary effects).

The amount of short-sightedness alone should give pause, but at least in America, we seem to have collectively lost our minds in worship of the almighty dollar.

Judgment day approaches.
