I agree with him purely because an LLM is not intelligent, any time you hear about it doing something like hacking on its own it was a marketing stunt

    I didn't read this as AI sentients but as AI killing the world through its irresponsible use of resources like water and electricity.

    Basically, he's saying "I need to get as rich as possible so that I can have enough money to survive the water wars."

    That's such a weak attack. The water and resources are being depleted by the second and irreparably because of capitalism and infinite exponential growth, the real problem is that it is a means to influence and control billions of people, take away their jobs, and decide how wars are waged and how our societies are run, and it's all up to some dumb cunt with an engineering degree who never got laid or read a book that wasn't all equations in their life.

    That's not democracy, that's feudalism. That's a private citizen determining the fate of humanity because they were good at making money.

    Because, like, as we all know, being greedy makes you the perfect candidate for being in charge of a planetary society, right?

    My son in law doesn't believe that. You can tell he is down the rabbit hole on it. Its pretty clear this is all happening to create the lie that these algorithmic word salads have volition.

    The lack of volition is not a problem, the volition of those owning the means of information is.

    "Guns don't kill people, people do."

    Yeah, sure, so let's make sure not every fucking rando has an AK ok?

    The volition is entirely human. Its a grift. a scam. Where they set up their little games and claim the their scripts did it on their own.

    Hey listen I'm with you all the way. I just think the problem goes deeper than AI. They're abusing the power of money to get away with anything- we shout "hey stop that you could get us all killed!" and they're like "Sure but think of the money I'll make!" and go ahead with it because they kick back to the rulers who let them.

    It's like the atom bomb. Whoever gets it first will get to dominate everyone else, why do you think they're sprinting?
