By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Jason Stanley argues in The Guardian that the far-right's focus on the "great replacement" theory, which fears the replacement of white populations by non-white immigrants, distracts from a more significant and imminent replacement: humanity by artificial intelligence.
