    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.”

      Problem with that kind of thinking is that once society has gone down the pan, money is worthless…

      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?
