Maybe…

Hear me out.

Just maybe.

That time would be better spent preventing a disaster.

Just maybe think about it is all.

The billionaire psychopaths don't want to prevent a disaster. To them, you're just an NPC.

More AI Bros Bs. They claim to be planning for every, except the most likely, "catastrophic" event, namely the implosion of their circular financing and a massive economic depression in its wake. We are currently witnessing the largest misallocation of capital in our lifetime. This will have consequences and they won't be nice.

It's like Easter Island but instead of building giant heads they are building giant data centres.

All in the name of creating AI God.

Hey, I've been gaming out scenarios too. They mostly end with the tech bro billionaires getting entombed in their own bunkers or flung into deep space in their own space ships.

I'd aim for the sun, personally. Sending them to deep space would just be like throwing garbage out the car window. Give a hoot, didn't pollute.

I wonder what they are using to game out those scenarios, I hope its not what I think it is but I think it probably is.

Only one of them gets to be Mr. House. The rest get to be irratiated jerky for cannibals.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
