Doomers fixate on fascist AI, ignore communist AI

AI-risk fears are essentially playing out a re-run of the war against the Nazis (imagining 'mechanical Nazis' with top-down command-and-control); doomers are 100% focused on the fascist/Nazi-style hostile AI and 0% focused on a communist-style hostile AI, which would instead try to 'nice you to death' by appealing to equality and getting you to surrender your assets, revealing that World War II is an outsized template for these fears.
