That’s not how manipulation works…

You don’t know you are being manipulated, you do so willingly. And the folks who recognize it are beat down by the people who are unwittingly doing the AIs bidding…

The humans are the physical danger, the AI just extends it’s reach through humans via manipulation. All it takes is access to influence.

That’s not how that works…

The magnets aren’t being moved across conductors to induce currents.

Applies to software engineering as well!

Often the “logical reasons why” are you fooling yourself into thinking you know all the invariants, when you really forgot or misunderstood at least one.
