“AI” – chatbots that wake up, “set their own goals,” and “spontaneously” start hacking servers – is fake. It doesn’t have “a 10% chance of ending the human race.” The Hugging Face hack isn’t a mysterious, supernatural occurrence. It’s a Python loop and a chatbot. The people responsible didn’t accidentally create god: they created autonomous malicious software and then failed to closely monitor it, resulting in it doing something both foreseeable and bad.


“Speech” has many definitions, most of which include writing. If that’s too complicated to understand just think of how it’s used in the common phrase “free speech”.
Also I edited my above message with context if you would like to correct your misunderstandings.
