The discourse about AI is similar to the way people talk about Trump. A lot of us saw them for what they were immediately, and were called alarmist.

And over time, more and more people try to explain that they have changed their mind, and they were fooled, and aren't bad people themselves, something something something.

They do not want humans producing anything, and now they do not want humans consuming anything. Is there any place for humans in their AI future?

This is not the genius-level marketing OpenAI thinks it is.

I am tempted to put "doing the bidding of the Antichrist for over 20 years" on my website. Or maybe even my LinkedIn profile.

“I can’t tell you how many billionaires and CEOs have called me in absolute tears about their lives being destroyed by one article.”

I would pay to see a billionaire or CEO in tears over an article.

And if stopping them were that easy, why hasn't it happened yet?

PL talks about the way Trump fights wars as if it comes out of some military doctrine. It doesn't. Trump is stupid, doesn't plan ahead, and is easily distracted. That's it. It's not N-dimensional chess. He's just an idiot.

I also tried reading the whitepaper, and could not get past the first page. I just kept thinking, "that's not what happened", and after about four or five times of thinking that, I just bailed.

The big one was that non-reversible transactions are supposed to be cheaper, yet Bitcoin is a lot more expensive than what we have now
