People always ask me: But how could AI kill us all? So, here is how I think AI will literally kill us all. It's just a guess, I'm just a human. I wrote this essay for a book nearly two years ago. It's not something I like to talk about. But the academic presentation of AI risk is just not working. We need real human emotion in this debate. When we say we're all going to die if we don't change course, and our faces don't show it, it doesn't connect.

Meet Joe and Robin Williams of Holly Ridge, Louisiana. Meta is buidling their Hyperion data center, bigger than Manhattan, next to their property. Their water often smells like bleach and looks like coffee. They gave their dog tap water, and she got very sick. She got better as soon as he went on bottled water. They are retirees who use bottled water for everything at their own expense. There is so much dust in the air constantly that they have developed breathing problems. It was the same all over town. It's been this way for more than a year and a half. They had no idea any of this was coming, no consent, their *elected leaders* all signed NDAs. How is this even remotely OK? You might want data centers, but how can anyone support this?? This is plainly and simply wrong by any measure.

I've started a nonprofit, GuardRailNow, and I need your help. Our approach is unique: I do not come from tech. I cannot write code. I do not live in SF. I am not an EA. I am not a rationalist. I have never been to Silicon Valley. I'm a dad in Baltimore talking about AI extinction risk to other people like me. AI Safety loves selling Bibles outside churches, preaching to the choir. It's easy to talk to people who are like you. It's much harder to talk with people who are very different than you. So why would AI safety people, who are from/in the SF bubble, who use EA/rationalist speech patterns and thought, think they are in any way the right people to bring the message to everyone else?? They are not. If AI Safety wants to get regular people on their side here's a hint: get out of the way. You are the problem. You do not act or talk or think in ways that connect with everyone else. I'm sorry if that sounds harsh. But our lives are on the line. Get over it and pass the ball to people like me.
