see sometimes i see an odious take along the lines of "being concerned about AI killing everyone is just creating a status hierarchy where AI is at the top and people similar to popular depictions of AI (analytical, intelligent, programmers) are higher up than me"

and sometimes i see other odious takes along the lines of "intelligence is ill-defined so with this wordplay i wave the problem out of existence"

but worldeaters are not traditionally high-status and also a worldeater is something that eats worlds its hard to play word games with that

alas it elides the mechanism by which the worldeater eats worlds (intelligence, ahem) owell
