So he's not just stupid. He's maliciously stupid. Got it

Of course because they will control them to wipe out the "wrong kind of Americans"

If the apocalypse of humanity can be avoided by filling a couple of rockets with certain people, and... well, it doesn't really matter where they are launched. Why, don't we do that? Seems like the obvious trade to me.

(Of course, it is just marketing BS to suggest the dangers are rogue AIs, and not the global warming disaster they are becoming a significant contributer to). But, if we take them at their word, they sure seem like cancer cells in a otherwise healthy body. Cells that would get removed immediately, without any need to kill the patient.

Am I the only one reading it as an “emergency to give public money from taxes to some friends owning private tech companies”?

I don't know why I have no fear the chinese communist party would abandon all its power to an AI (neither).
