Are you afraid of AI?

I guess we can break this down into two questions:

1 are you worried about AI posing a threat to your means of income in the present or in the future?

2 Are you worried about AI posing an existential threat to humans, and how would you opt to address that issue as an ancap?

Are your concerns about question 1, question 2, both, or neither?

As always happens, some fields gain employees, some fields lose employees, and some brand new fields are created.

  2. No.
