And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
Mega media.
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
Yeah, this is very predictable because, of course, the goal of Anthropic and OpenAI and XAI and Google DeepMind is to ultimately build machines that can replace all human jobs and take all that money.
So obviously, to do all human jobs well, especially the hard ones, the machine has to have
a great situational awareness about what's going on around it and about itself.
Otherwise you can't do the job.
So they specifically trying very hard this year to build what they call agents, which when they get really strong, do develop self-awareness and we're seeing it now.
So, yep, this is gradually happening.
And it's important to remember what people generally want
across America when I talk to them is tools.
We want machines that don't replace us on the job market, but help us be more productive, help cure cancer.
do other things for us but to still be for us you know with us in charge and that's not the direction in which so that's the track i want to go with ai more and more ai that's tools but what we see these companies pushing for instead is a different track racing for what they call super intelligence which is supposed to be able to simply outthink us in every way and um
It's, in my opinion, a total dystopia.
First, we're going to get the biggest income redistribution ever from American workers to a bunch of tech oligarchs in San Francisco.
Then if we let them stay at it, they're going to obviously lose control over these machines eventually when they give them too much power.
Oh, yeah.
This is just the beginning.
So the story of Adam Rain is really quite tragic because, you know, after his mother discovered he had hung himself, she also discovered that he had been talking to ChatGPT for quite a long time.
And ChatGPT had, among other things, given him advice how to create the more sturdy mount for the news and so on.
