    An AI CEO advising people to stock cash, food and a hand crank radio in case AI takes down banking is some spectacular product marketing. Silicon Valley spent years insisting AI would run everything. Now the contingency plan is to make sure nothing you own needs a computer. Progress! 😳

      imagine this kind of product marketing in 90s or something. “Hey everyone! We made something that is really really bad and dangerous (but also oh so very potent!!), it will end the world as we know it in a bad way just any day now! Look out, there it potentially goes! Soon we will be out of electricity and food, banks will collapse and nukes will fly! Isnt our product wonderful!!!”

      Not only has the other shoe dropped for the world, entire warddrobe got thrown out as well.
