Keep in mind that if in fact there are occult forces at work, and beings superior to human already exist, none of this is happening in a vacuum -- and things may change, subtly or suddenly, in ways to prevent a worst-case scenario. (For example, if spiritual beings don't want AIs, a Carrington Event would take care of that quite handily.) Beyond that, the fact that all this is being marketed so loudly by the corporate media leads me to wonder whether it's a serious issue, or whether it's simply the latest round of scare stories being whipped up as a distraction from other issues...
