A religion is just a cult that’s bamboozled a certain number of people in positions of power into going along with it.

Don’t give them any ideas. Next thing you know we’re getting charged with hate crimes for calling delivery bots clankas.

The inventory robot was doing a little dance trying to get out of the way of me & 2 other people in the grocery store yesterday, and the first thing I thought was “… fuckin’ clanker…”
The Hard R™ was necessary.

“Blasphemy” would only apply if AI was a God. Hint: AI is not a God. It might be a devil, though.

I think there must be competing with each other to see how stupid they can go and still get the media to publish it.

Masayoshi Son, the most gullible idiot billionaire in the world is a fucking idiot. He got conned hard by the WeWork grifter and he still hasn’t found out. What a fucking idiot.

WeWork was such a fun ride to watch, such a transparently silly company that made stupid money, it never made sense.

“I think it’s blasphemy against AI if you say it’s a bubble,” Son said at the Japanese conglomerate’s annual general meeting. “It’s just the beginning. AI’s potential will be unlocked.”
Another stupid rich Boomer who’s bought into the science fiction, but who is too rich to have anyone who can tell him he’s an idiot.
The entrepreneur, 68, said he will lead the company into his 70s to bring about “artificial superintelligence,” which he defines as being 10,000 times smarter than a human.
“I have become greedier,” Son said. “I would like to do more over the next 10 to 15 years. I will stay healthy as long as I can.”
At least he’s honest, unlike the American ultrawealthy who have been trying really hard to convince people they’re regular humans and not skinwalkers.

It’s not only boomers here who are into this. I know many in IT here in Japan, from normal workers up through C-suite folks, who fully believe in AI like this and act accordingly.

Just listened to a great episode of Behind the Bastards on this they call themselves “Rationalists”. Their bible is a Harry Potter fan fic, seriously mad stuff.
2 daysIt’s a good thing they didn’t waste any time on those squishy liberal arts.
But what if it it was real, it finally bursts and they lost large portions of their market capitalization or stock value.

In the end, we’re going to have to fight a planetary-scale civil war after the elites in every country develop complete AI psychosis.
