We are aware that AI can be an existential threat to humanity; yet, we’re simultaneously building capabilities (massive amounts of infrastructure, energy capacity + computing power) that would enable that very threat to have significant capabilities.
A discussion on reddit.com highlights the paradox of humanity's approach to AI. Despite acknowledging AI as a potential existential threat, there's a simultaneous effort to build extensive infrastructure, energy capacity, and computing power. This development raises concerns about inadvertently creating the very environment and resources that could empower future AI threats, essentially building a 'home and power source for future enemies of the state.'

I am curious if the fact that we are building infrastructure that AI could live in is simultaneously just building a home and power source for future enemies of the state
