“The people who advocate for AI” are literally running around claiming that AI is Jesus and it is sacrilege to stand against it.

And by literally, I mean Peter Thiel is giving talks actually claiming this. This is not an exaggeration, this is not hyperbole.

They are trying to recruit techno-cultists.
