What is this?
We are all told of the boundless benefits that AI might bring but have also been warned of the potential threats to society of unfettered and unchecked AI development.The big monopoly corporations have swept these fears under the carpet in their relentless pursuit of monopoly profits and are so far given a free rein to develop the technology without regulation or control.
AI could result in the complete transformation in society with all manner of bad consequences including but not limited to:
- The undermining of human creativity
- The creation of a surveillance society
- The destruction and de-skilling of jobs
- The creation of a sub class of dependent human beings controlled by a tiny class of corporate controllers
- The development of autonomous weapons
- An arms race between competing superpowers for dominance
AI Will Kill You is small language model which spews out an alternative fantasy to that which the traditional media would have us believe, and which fails to challenge the monopolists and identify the risks.

The Characters
Sam Altman
Leader of Open AI and head of the Secret Committee for World Domination. Dangerous, egotistical, misogynistic, cruel, deviant and really wants to rule the world. Won a power struggle for control of OpenAI in 2023 overcoming his dismissal at the hands of independent directors Helen Toner and Tasha McCauley, for “concealing information and not being consistently candid in his communications”, and has consolidated his power with the help of Nadella at Microsoft. OpenAI has developed ChatGPT without any safeguarding measures in respect of the technology used. Altman manipulates other tech leaders in the AI space to do his will. “ It is important that you distort reality for others but not yourself.” He is also deeply weird: started a crypto project named Worldcoin, that scanned people’s eyeballs to collect personal data, in return for a crypto token payment.
Satya Nadella
Chief executive of Microsoft which has invested $10 billion in Open AI. Does what he is told by Altman. Complicit, with Altman, in throwing out the OpenAI safeguarding directors, namely Helen Toner and Tasha McCauley. Greedy and only interested in profit.
Sundar Pichai
Chief executive of Google. Google bought Deep Mind, now run by Demis Hassabis, see below. Pichai has been sidelined by Hassabis who is now in control of all AI products within Google, and Hassabis has been tasked only with making profit. Google has avoided any commitment to safeguarding and has put aside the previous “Ethics council” concept and more recently neutered its internal safeguarding unit. Google, under Pichai is something of a woke commune where the workforce has dictated strategic moves to Pichai. The “Wokies” are behind the chatbot Google Gemini which decided to make famous white historical figures people of colour and is programmed only to give woke ( and often blatantly untrue) answers to prompts.
Demis Hassabis
Co-founder and CEO of Deep Mind, bought by Google in 2014. His job is to turn Google’s AI developments into profits for Google. He has dispensed with any pretence that Google or Deep Mind have any interest in the greater benefit of AI to society in general and has decommissioned any internal safeguarding controls
Tim Cook
Chief executive of Apple; ruthless and humourless and thinks Apple products are superior to human beings . Looking to integrate AI into I phones via Siri. Has chosen OpenAI for this in an opaque deal and Apple has now become a shadow director of AI.
Elon Musk
Serial entrepreneur famously associated with Tesla and SpaceX. An initial investor in OpenAI but fell out with Altman over aims of Open AI. Musk envisaged OenAI as a non profit company to save the world from a dystopian future, Open AI is now a profit centred and uncontrolled entity in league with other tech companies for global domination.
Musk Has started xAI whose “mission is to understand the meaning of the universe” He has also started chatbot Grok which is apparently maximum truth seeking” as opposed to the politically correct ChatGPT and the ludicrously woke Google Gemini.
Has been excluded by Altman from his secret council to control the world.
Ilya Sutskever
Co-founder of Open AI. Sided with OpenAI directors Helen Toner and Tasha McCauley when they instigated the temporary removal of Altman from Open AI in 2023. Has now left OpenAI to found “Safe Superintelligence”
Jensen Huang
Chief Executive of Nvidia, which has virtual monopoly of the chips used in large language models and whose profitability has surged as big Tech companies fight for supply. The big Tech companies are dependent on Nvidia. Huang keeps on coming up with new and faster products which makes competing with Nvidia difficult. The companies resent their dependence and are looking for other avenues of supply. In particular, Altman has demanded trillions of dollars to boost the world’s supply of computer chips in answer to this dependence so long as he controls this new supply.
