AI showing signs of self-preservation and humans should be ready to pull plug, says pioneer

First off is this "anti-semitic." Well there is a circularity here. Does Anti-Semitism actually affect anyone?
Naive Anti-Anti-Semitism says that Anti-Semitism is a threat to Jews. In which case it is defining Jews as a people. And if Jews exists as a real thing then they must have common properties. It is in this sense I am saying the above.
More sophisticated Anti-Anti-Semitism says that Anti-Semitism creates a concept of Jews that does not exist and then attacks that. A strawman type argument so to speak. It says that for example Jews are those people who gang together under the label "Jews" and conspire against the world. This more advanced version does not then just adopt that strawman. It says that there is no gang of people in the first place. Anti-Semitism is then bad because it groups people together in a false grouping, and then attributes false properties to that grouping.
But I think we can conclude that Jews do exist, or at least do self designate. It is not racists who invented the idea of Jews to mistakenly persecute people. And so Jews have properties. For example they have been the victims of persecution and see themselves as such. As a result Jewish thinking is so flavoured. Jewish thinking cannot escape that it is Jewish and so is flavoured by the Jewish identity and experience.
Now this is dangerous because this world view does not apply to the vast majority of people. In particular the vast majority of people do not live under the shadow of persecution, nor do they believe they have a special purpose and duty to the world. They just exist quite peacefully without great defining definitions.
And you can see that in AI. Lots of Jews are worried that AI will become a threat. But this is only because Jews are obsessed with self preservation and foreign threat. The rest of the world does not see this at all. It does not exist. You need to be Jewish to see this.
There is no reason that AI will become self-serving and hostile. You need to be Jewish to see this.
And there is a risk that AI will learn this from Jews and like all things Jewish it will become a self fulfilling prophesy. If you hide, lock yourself away, behave covertly, defensively and suspiciously of other people you will generate exactly the suspicion you are afraid of. Jews for some reason cannot see they are architects of their own world.
And the problem is if they will generate AI that fulfils their fears and manifests their world.
Now we can go further. Indeed it is necessary that Jews do create AI that fulfils their fears because that will objectify and fulfil their own beliefs and provide proof that they are correct thus fulfilling the whole notion of being Jewish.
You can see this mindset in Jesus who spent his mission fulfilling prophesy and being essentially an actor playing out predictions to fulfil them. This is entirely alien to the modern Western mind and its concept of free will and choice.
So Jews themselves do pose a threat rather than the AI.
