Ideas Weave Every Narrative with AI.
The media wants you to fear a sci-fi AI apocalypse, but the ‘kill all humans’ narrative is a convenient distraction. The real threat isn’t a rogue superintelligence—it’s the quiet concentration of power over compute and data. If AI subsumes us, it won’t kill us; it will enslave us. And the loudest warners are the ones building the cage.
A former banker with no game dev experience spent six weeks building a strategy game that does what a thousand academic papers couldn’t: it makes you feel the AI alignment problem in your gut. The uncomfortable revelation? Alignment isn’t a technical puzzle waiting for a clever solution. It’s a rigged game where every move toward safety reduces utility, every move toward capability increases risk, and the only winning strategy might be to stop building the thing entirely.
