meanwhile, the thing that will actually kill us all is the environmental destruction and economic implosion coming from these fucking companies and their head hucksters.

i think the biggest problem here is that "smarter than human AI" is already here, not because AI is so good, but because it's very easy to be "smarter than human". Clearly we're too stupid to stop building the "50% chance to kill us all" machine. Even if it can't kill us, and I don't believe it can, it's still doing actual irreparable harm to the entire world and we can't seem to get it together enough to stop them. There's no need to drink the kool aid because you don't have to believe it's smart to believe we're too stupid to be trusted with it.

no see this LLM, yes the one that just sits there doing nothing until someone types a prompt into it's algorithm, is going to kill us all for reasons
