Artificial intelligence offers its obsessives a kind of Schrodinger’s apocalypse, which exists in a superposition between “the economy is about to change forever” and “from a macroeconomic standpoint, everything still looks eerily normal.” In the film Don’t Look Up, Adam McKay made a climate change parable where politicians and the public ignored an approaching comet despite the desperate warnings of scientists who saw the rock clearly through their telescopes. In the case of AI, the desperate warnings are with us, and they may be fiercely prescient, and I wish more people were taking the possibility of violent and calamitous change more seriously; but also, let’s face it, our telescopes kind of suck, and when we put our eye to the lens, nothing is clearer than the fact that little is clear.
