    Aliens (even illegal ones) are preferable to an asteroid strike, too.

    Too bad they aren’t mutually exclusive.

      If you read his book The Technological Republic, he calls for a « collectivist » ideology and the merger of corporation and state. A few historical examples to choose from would be Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia or Communist China to get an idea of his vision for America’s future.

            It actually indicates just how much of a sociopath he is, because we’re I that wealthy I’d sure as hell shut the fuck up and enjoy life.

              There’s research that shows the process of accumulating so much wealth both selects and creates sociopaths. This is why they’re very overrepresented in the upper class. Sure, not all of them are. Maybe you’d be the exception. I also think I’d be the exception but I’m not too confident. :D

    The what race? No one has been working on AI for a while… if he means LLMs and similar generative models there’s only the race to see how long it takes for the models to be so poisoned by being trained on their own slop that they no longer can produce the illusion of giving useful results (seems like the current generation is almost there, already giving diminishing results), and the race to extract as much money as possible from the economy before the first one ends and the bubble pops…

      …what?

      LLMs are AI. What is this?

      I am asking seriously. Can someone explain the context of this nonsense?

      Are we really entering a luddite phase again?

    Man who is the CEO of a business selling mass surveillance beyond the likes of even George Orwell’s 1984 says we should run head first into a surveillance state from which he will directly profit from.

    Look at this unfuckable loser. He’s like if someone glued Steve Bannon’s pubes to Steven Miller’s head. “Let us destroy all freedom in the USA so China doesn’t win the race to economically out-compete the USA” is as bullshit a justification as there has ever been for anything in the history of everything.
