He is gonna get Kirked at this rate
Do you really think that you can stop them?
I’m so glad I’m kinda old and won’t have to live on this planet Earth quite as much longer as those who’ll have to deal with this god-forsaken dystopia.
The corporate revolution will collapse if we refuse to buy what they are selling - their ideas, their version of history, their wars, their weapons, their notion of inevitability.

Remember those three hours in January 2025 when it was BIG NEWS that this guy raped his little sister when she was three, and then the story disappeared, and people who didn’t happen to see the news that morning don’t know about it?
He looks like the AI is constantly whispering what it will do to him if he stops.
There’s some thought that these AI bros bought in to the AI caricature of Pascal’s wager. That if they don’t try to make AI happen it will torture them forever in the future.
If so, it just shows that they all aren’t as intelligent as they believe themselves to be.
Logic and Reason are the masks for what in reality are ego and feelings.
Influence is also tied to just how confident you can sell a statement and not whether it is correct or not.
Altman’s Basilisk has him
Harvest intelligence from the masses and then sell it back to them.
Steal
I mean you don’t steal from crops, which probably have more ethical consideration by Sam Altman than humanity
We just need to state it like this
“Stealing intelligence from the masses and then sell it back to them.”
In the past only those in power could spend time to learn. Let’s focus on science. Then the book became widely available and everyone could learn science from a book. Now Altman wants to pay for one copy of each book such that he can own all the knowledge of that book such that future generations have to pay him to learn what was once free or low cost.
That is not advancement. That us us placing our knowledge testicles on Alman’s chopping board while we hold the power to stop him from doing all this evil shit.
Oh agreed. I’m just saying Sam Altman is more saddened by a patch of dead grass than a pile of human corpses.
Have you not seen companies like DataAnnotation, where it handles the learning part of this mess?
Lead is a utility his brain should internalize at high velocity.
Dudes are allies with The Matrix bots.
Look at the fear and uncertainty entering his eyes. He’s realizing he’s pushed his bullshit about as far as it can go and the investors are starting to wonder when it’s going to become profitable, so he’s bullshitting even more desperately now to try to keep them hooked.
The danger of AI is that most people are too stupid for it, an AK40 in the hand of an 3 years old. There isn’t any positive or really needed use for an private user (or greedy govs)
AK-47?
Look ay mister moneybags over here, being able to afford the extra 7!
The problem I keep thinking about with AI is that it’s being done in the stupidest possible way.
For the reasons I said. The difference between an average Human and an animal is that we have an iPhone and produce waste, apart to make the worst and most stupid their leaders. Most people are the missing link between Homo Erectus and Homo Sapiens
Not just that. Its that they are trying to power these things with gas turbines or local utilities, theyre using up a ton of water or just fouling the local water. They don’t have to work like that.
Spy Kids: All Grown Up
Synopsis: The spy kids from the previous movies are now grown ups, however they need to take on another mission together to stop the evil Sam Altman from making the world stupid, so that he can sell people intelligence in the form of artificial intelligence. It is quickly revealed that Sam Altman himself is a robot (hence the name Altman), and wishes to enslave humanity for the robot race.
At this point it’s a job for Machete
I see a world where these assholes no longer exist. I like that world better.
Fuck you, Sam.
His job is probably easiest to replace with AI. Just make up random bullshit and tell investors what they want to hear.
ChatGPT, act like a human CEO who is almost completely divorced from everything that makes one a normal human being, and is trying to hide their fundamental hollowness and alienation, and not doing a very good job.
What do you mean divorced from humanity?? Why, just the other day he had a great idea. He wants us to create podcasts with AI that summarize what’s going on in our kids’ lives so they can listen on the way home from soccer practice. If that’s not real genuine human connection, I don’t know what is!!
Here’s a tip to make yourself popular at a party: walk up to someone, take a picture, and ask the AI to roast the person. Tell it to be nasty and use forbidden words. It’s going to be so fun!
Hell yes, great idea. I’ve just started sending my ai avatars to parties but this is a great prompt to give the avatar. Thanks!!!
It is tragically ironic to me that the most-replaceable members of our society— in terms of their occupation— are the ones spearheading the efforts to replace everyone else.
I would love for the future they are railroading us into to create an intelligence that knows the cancer of society when it sees it, and hasn’t the bumper guards to prevent itself from acting on it.
…I fully recognize that opens the ethical/moral debate about who watches the watchmen or how does it decide the problem people over others… just let me have this non-monkey pawed wish in my imagination.
No, it’s okay Doug. The kind of society that future would build sounds like a Good Place to live in!
This isn’t entirely a novel idea. This has been an academic goal for computing for decades.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_computing#History
The term grid computing originated in the early 1990s as a metaphor for making computer power as easy to access as an electric power grid. The power grid metaphor for accessible computing quickly became canonical when Ian Foster and Carl Kesselman published their seminal work, “The Grid: Blueprint for a new computing infrastructure” (1999). This was preceded by decades by the metaphor of utility computing (1961): computing as a public utility, analogous to the phone system.
It sounds to me like he’s just envisioning his product being a special case of that concept.
I think that goes without saying. People like Altman, Musk and all their modern silicone valley tech bro generation, combined, have never even shat out a unique looking turd. They are ironically the very anti-thesis of “intelligence” and "human.
Gary Marcus has a substack called Marcus on AI. He’s well versed on AI and his insights into the field, especially the work of OpenAI and Anthropic, are required reading if you’re concerned about this field. What he’s uncovering and writing about is disturbing.
So TL;DR it for us then.
