There's a certain liberal transhumanist optimistic view of the world that isn't just not corresponding to materiality but it is almost idealistic in their assumptions of technology.

I am at a crossroads about AI and the recent a developments in tech. Our reality is changing faster than we can really understand/, assimilate

Conditions seem primed for this scenario: the ai takeover bait and switch. What better way to deflect blame for problems than for those at the top of hierarchical power structures to act as if ai has "taken over" while they actually retain control of it. "Nothing we can do," they'll say. Or alternately, they'll propose all sorts of wrong headed ways of "fighting back" against the machines to show that we're all in this together. They can even pull the plug and we all lose it when it doesnt shut down even though the real plug was never pulled.

We'll just make another AI that's capable of diagnosing and fixing issues with our current AI, problem solved.

Sounds about right- actually that is a multi-season plot arc in the wb show The 100.
