      Didn’t you hear!? We did it, we have AGI this time™. It’s the future bro! This time it’ll be different! Just one more datacenter! Just a few thousand more GPUs and you too can own AGI!

      It’s literally 1/4 of the entire worlds stock market and superannuation and investments now… And a lot more in derivatives (bets on how the future will pan out).

      So… the entire world’s leaders and financial industry is either FOMO or holding, and throwing stuff into the cash fire in the hope the flame doesn’t go out and tank the entire world in a financial disaster that’ll rival that of 100 years ago.

      Its beyond reckless.

      Even if the cookers are right and AI pans out and it does replace 30% of jobs or something - congrats, leaders and finance dregs, now you have an entirely new disaster to deal with that you funded.

      Technocratic billionaires who want to enslave everyone who isn’t white, rich, male, and in their little club.

        Do Satya Nadella and Sundar Pichai strike you as extremely white names?

        Edit: to be clear, some of those people are really quite racist… But I am not so sure that’s such a determining factor in the larger sector.

          Not much for the history of white supremacists and how they use useful idiots, huh? Yes, there are awful people of every race color and creed that think they’ll be in the fun authoritarian group. What a novel realization you’ve come across.

        Enslavement is the old, pre-AI mindset.

        They want to replace all labor with AI, then exterminate us. They’ll start with pointless wars, disease, etc. Then on to starvation and dehydration. And once our numbers are whittled down enough, they’ll send in the drones to wipe out any last survivors.

        For all of history the ruling class has been ‘held back’ by one crucial flaw: as much as they detest us, they need the workers to actually do the labor and build the luxuries they enjoy. With ever more advanced AI, that age is ending … or at least that’s what they think.
