tl;dr: "type shit" (distinct from "{X}-type shit") is an affirmation, akin to "right on"

It doesn't say they are paying him more, just that they are structuring things in a way he can sell stock but keep his control. A relevant excerpt from Meta's investor update (bold mine):

Meta intends to file an amended and restated certificate of incorporation in Delaware to establish the Class C [non-voting] common stock, with an effective date of January 19, 2027. The Board has also declared a one-time stock dividend of one share of Class C common stock for each outstanding share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock, contingent upon, and to be paid after, the effectiveness of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

If I understand correctly, each existing share is effectively split into a voting share and a non-voting share (which the market will price, probably each at around half the original value). Google did this in 2014, and GOOGL (voting) shares are worth about 2% more than GOOG (non-voting) shares.

Luckily nobody outside of a car has eyes or this would be pretty terrible.

I wish the Hastert Rule would die. It's one of the most anti-democractic principles in Congress (among some fierce contenders).

Well, "vitrified" literally means made glassy, and the process involves melting the silicates in the clay, so there are some similarities.

For manslaughter you would need to show it was either in commission of another crime or via negligence.

you’re not supposed to enjoy life’s pleasures or joys “too much”

That's a rather puritanical view. I would say the dangers of pleasure are similar to the dangers of heroin -- the problem is not enjoying it too much, but becoming single-minded in its pursuit.

As for sin in heaven, I guess you would not want to because all of your deepest needs are met without sin.

A common image of heaven is a bunch of saints playing harps. Nowadays this looks boring; imagine instead a giant jam session with everyone rocking out.

AI has no initiative, it must be prompted. It does not decide anything.

"Prompting" is somewhat specific to LLMs. It is not the only source of direction for an AI. But fair enough. The AI doesn't "decide" to make number go up. It just does it. Or to make it LLM-specific, the most probable set of tokens produced by its network are self-instructions for the destruction of humanity.

AI won’t be Skynet/Ultron for the foreseeable future.

How far can you see into the future? AI doesn't have to be brilliant to destroy us; look how much power and destruction human idiots are capable of. At any rate I was not arguing that we were in the end game, just that it is in fact easy to provide a plausible way that AI could destroy us.

Step 1: AI earns money
Step 2: AI pays people to kill each other

That is probably sufficient, but AIs also have deception, blackmail, threats against family, direct action, and other tools at their disposal.

And I agree with the Count -- AI doesn't have to decide humanity should be destroyed; it just has to decide to make number go up.

Small clarification -- Lindsay Ellis released her video on Nebula last Friday (Aug 21), originally titled: "Yeah, but is Dolly really THAT great?"

She renamed, briefly prefaced, and released it on YouTube following Parton's death.
