Dumb Ways to Die (from AI)

Grow a giant, digital brain
finetune when it becomes a pain
chase utopian fantasy
with YOLO style safety

Dumb ways to die,
so many dumb ways to die
dumb ways to die
from misaligned rogue AI

Build agents and call them tools
act surprised when they break your rules
try to contain your system and I bet
someone will post it on the Internet

Dumb ways to die,
so many dumb ways to die
dumb ways to die
if we let them keep building AI

Automate the military
delegate your morality
when the drone swarms fill the skies
they'll decide who lives and dies

Dumb ways to die,
so many dumb ways to die
dumb ways to die
if we let this madness fly

Dismiss the experts as sci-fi
too much money to ask why
and when the public sees the lie
try to bribe them with UBI

Dumb ways to die,
so many dumb ways to die
dumb ways to die
on this ridiculous timeline

Throw caution to the wind and race
Better dead than second place
don't bother with a world treaty
everything will be just peachy

Dumb ways to die,
so many dumb ways to die
dumb ways to die
if we don't care to try

We may only have a few years left
to make the disaster monkeys stop

That didn't rhyme but this is quite possibly
the dumbest way to die
on the most absurd timeline
if the labs keep building AGI
that's why we need to
that's why we need to
that's why we need to PauseAI
