a) what is currently being touted as AI is neither artificial, nor is it intelligent. This is a bunch of hucksters saying "we made a scary demon with powers and now we're scared it's going to kill us all!" but in fact it's just a plagiarism machine, a stochastic parrot. Yes, it will get more useful as time goes on, but the main blockade is always going to be access to compute capacity, and the only viable solution to that is a socialist approach to all data processing infrastructure.
b) even if we stipulate that there is a scary daemon that could consume us all (and meanwhile teach me linear algebra and C++), and we transform that into pocket nukes as a more terrifying metaphor cause why not, your solution seems to be to pretend that your mini-nukes cannot be assembled from parts at hand by anyone who knows a bit of Python.

They can.
