Just passing along because it's an article by the author of a book "Better Without AI"

Current AI systems are already harmful, and may cause near-term catastrophes through their ability to shatter societies, cultures, and individual psychologies. That might potentially cause human extinction, but it is more likely to scale up to the level of the twentieth century dictatorships, genocides, and world wars. We would be wise to anticipate possible harms in as much detail as possible.

The AI apocalypse is now.

Now, if we can finagle the AI apocalypse to fight the Trumpocalypse, cool. Work remains to be done.
