The most important thing for conservatives to understand about the AI industry: Not a single person building Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) -- not one -- has ever offered a plausible scenario in which humanity, in anything close to its current form, could last for even two generations past the development of ASI. They say we could 'merge with ASI', which is like asking a hummingbird to 'merge with' a jet airplane. They say we could 'upload our consciousness' and compete with ASIs in virtual worlds, which means abandoning our genes, our bodies, our brains, our cities, our land, our reality. They offer no story at all in which your grandkids can keep living real lives, in the real world, with real control over their destinies. If you want to conserve anything at all about our humanity, our cultures, our religions, our institutions, our creativity, and our autonomy, the ASI industry is your mortal enemy. They are the ultimate revolutionaries. They are eager to burn down everything your ancestors ever cared about, to 'pass the baton' to machine intelligences. If you're conservative, and you support ASI development, you are being played like a Tennessee fiddle.
