before animism, i felt quite threatening and unusual about AI risk now it's like... oh yeah, sometimes you unleash things and they literally destroy all of you. let's see how this one goes https://t.co/5gBz7PDcz2
there's context. this isn't humanity's first rodeo. it's unlike anything before, and it might be our last, but i have context on how to relate to what it means to live in a world where we are playing with forces that can destroy us

imo animists will adapt easily to AI - we’re already used to living among swirling nonhuman intelligences & forces, some more powerful than us. birds, mountains, oceans, deities, etc people who experience “humans are the only existing intelligence” will have more of a reckoning
