Please read this article on the massive weirdos who are largely running the massively powerful and big-money AI industry in the U.S. today.

I genuinely feel bad for Eliezer Yudkowsky and his partner over the very real terror they seem to feel about AI killing us all - but these are not well people and they need therapy, not insanely influential advisory roles at the top of government and industry. time.com/6266923/ai-e...

“Yudkowsky is the person who connected Shane Legg and Demis Hassabis to Peter Thiel so that they could secure funding to start DeepMind, which is now Google's AI research division.” Yep, that’s the wacky sex cult AI doomer guy proving instrumental in Peter Thiel funding DeepMind.

<cringing in polyamory every time 'sex cult' terminology sets back human rights> the sex is FINE if there's consent the CULT part implies there's not these are NOT consent-valuing folks but ARE they rapists, coercive, or are they just profiteers who all like banging each other?

And once again, here’s OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in 2023, praising wacky AI sex cult blogger Eliezer Yudkowsky and speculating on if he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize:

'He is a good man and has done much to save the world' sounds a whole lot less like admiration than it does worship. Of the sex cult guy, which you've admitted is a sex cult guy? Whew.

No, the delusion is that AI bent on destroying humanity will be so good and so rational that it will find a way to kill every single last human, first with manufactured plague, then take off the survivors with drones and other targeted methods. Nuclear war would have survivors, they argue. It nuts.

This is all a weird AI strawman Ultragod they made up. This is a doomsday cult. A religion. AI is DIVINE to them, and once created, they believe it will be omniscient and omnipotent, and if it wants to kill all humans, it just will do so. How? It's omnipotent, we can't comprehend it. Don't ask.

Also why on earth does risking a nuclear exchange mitigate the risk of AI-provoked extinction? And how? Like, if you don't accept our terms of an agreement to prevent extinction, we initiate an event that will probably cause extinction?
