Intelligence ≠ capability ≠ power ≠ real-world harms
If you care about AI safety, it’s worth challenging the assumption that superintelligence will automatically be the greatest catastrophic risk we face.
Intelligence is only half the story. Access, resources, authority, and deployment matter too. Human decisions shape all of them. The jump from “a more intelligent system” to “a system that determines our future” deserves scrutiny.
Take the risk seriously. Keep demanding meaningful human control over what we build and deploy.
