I made an episode asking whether AI is going to destroy humanity, and my answer is no, at least not the way the movies promise. It’s a glorified calculator that scales, not a mind, and it’s never going to wake up and hate you. I pulled C.R. Wiley’s work on AI and transhumanism for the spine. His read is that the real danger is theological, not robotic. The machine becomes a competing eschatology, a counterfeit resurrection, a thing people start treating like a god. So the destruction isn’t a war. It’s a slow surrender where you let the box pray for you, think for you, and love your people for you, one convenient outsourcing at a time. I close on how to use the tool without bowing to it. Limit it to what humans literally cannot do, and guard the soul work with your life.
