Marc Andreessen argues that AI is ushering in a golden age of productivity while warning that institutional corruptionâexemplified by AI safety advocates inadvertently training models on doomer literature and advocacy groups allegedly funding the hate groups they claim to opposeâreveals how fear and false empathy often manufacture the very crises they purport to solve.
