And what those who were surprised by that didn't realize that it's obvious why.

Because all of these people across the spectrum are humans.

And they want the human future where machines are tools and work for us.

They don't want to merge with machines and they certainly don't want their kids to merge with machines.

They want these companies to be held accountable for their transhuman craziness.

That's also a misconception that

tech companies love to perpetuate, the first two signatories on the letters saying no to this nonsense are actually the two most cited scientists in the world.

They're like Einstein and the Oppenheimer of our time, all categories.

It's Geoff Hinton and Yoshua Bengio who really helped pioneer this technology.

And both of them are having this Oppenheimer moment now where they're like, holy smokes, what have we done?

This is crazy.

No, the vast majority of scientists

believe that we have no clue how we would control something much smarter than us.

And many think of it as basically inviting aliens, technologically superior aliens, to just come to Earth and take over and see what happens, which obviously would count as high treason by any reasonable standards.

Yeah, absolutely.

Calling Jeff Hinton and...

Joshua Bengio, Luddites makes just as much sense as calling Einstein and Oppenheimer Luddites.

You know, what did they know about physics, right?

They said that nuclear weapons can be bad for your health.

What do they know?
