This, not because I dislike this ultimate last resort... though it is horrible... but because I don't expect we actually have that resort. This is not what I expect to happen, now that we've been reduced to this last resort. I expect that we all die. That is why I tried so hard to have things not end up here.

Big Yud licked billionaire boots so hard to try to avert the apocalypse. :powercry-2:

      That Time Magazine?

      It's been bazinga advertising masquerading as journalism for decades now, ever since "WILL THIS BABY LIVE FOREVER?" :soypoint-2: became front cover material.

    Apocalyptic tech bros are the most annoying class of them. They sit around in their ivory towers, ruminating on an imaginary scenario in which Shodan arises after they have sex with robot slaves and scare themselves into a deep depression

    The news last week about a guy committing suicide after being goaded by an AI chat bot + doomsday "TI-84S ARE GONNA MASSACRE EVERYBODY!!" tech bros, I hoping there's some funny Waco situation in silicon valley that involves all of them drinking cyanide laced soylent

      Chuds are terrified of experiencing what they dish out. Always. :porky-scared:

    I don't really follow this guy much but it seems like he suddenly went from his old "follow my word and we will be saved" to "it's too late and we are all going to die". Why's that? You think it's cause of that bazingabrain article claiming that chatbot 5.0 will be AGI?
