Is anyone else creeped out by how the whole whole has suddenly become ASI pilled in the space of a week?

A Reddit user expressed surprise at the sudden mainstream discussion of Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) and related concepts like existential risk and P-Doom. They noted that topics previously considered niche are now being debated on mainstream TV news and by newspaper journalists. The user cited an example of a British breakfast TV show where a presenter argued with an AI expert about ASI's self-controlling capabilities, highlighting a rapid shift in public awareness and concern regarding advanced AI.

This post highlights a sudden shift in public discourse, noting that ASI, existential risk, and P-Doom have moved from niche discussions to mainstream media in just one week.
