Ahh yes, the gay billionaire is definitely someone I should trust in regard to Christian religious doctrine, especially concerning what is and is not considered good in the Christian viewpoint. Dudes already got at probably two strikes, and I'm betting he's checked off a few of the more minor of the 10 commandments, but like... on a major scale.
He's saying it because he is trying to force a reaction from his evangelical republican pals. Either he wants to warn them off AI regulation because that would end the world or (the more likely option I think) he wants the accelerationist bastards to go full steam ahead and regulate because they want the end of the world and he wants to "pull up the ladder" on new emerging competing AI companies.
From what I know of him it's in line with his beliefs - he was expecting total societal collapse in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis.
I dunno if it's what he actually expects, but it's definitely what he wants
Behind the Bastards did a few episodes on him, he made some big financial bets on the basis it would collapse and lost out big. He seemingly did predict the crash but totally took the wrong decisions.
Who'd have thunk eBay would've given us both him and Musk.
Eurgh I'm not sure whether it's worse if he earnestly believes this crap or he's cynically and smartly playing the game. The only loser here is the human race.
Plus any male models that hang out with him and his partner long enougn
But why male models?
Shellfish, mixed fabrics, swearing, and you know, not helping anyone but himself. But im sure thats minor compared to the shellfish.
