AI Summary

The piece mocks the alarmist claim that AI will inevitably become a lethal threat, juxtaposing the fictional “Skynet” scenario with a parody of a Nigerian‑prince scam offering a $20 million fortune. It frames the “killer AI” narrative as a self‑serving tactic aimed at influencing regulation rather than a genuine risk.
