The U.S. AI industry is being run by a batshit rationalist sex cult, and no, I am not being hyperbolic - they’re genuinely Like That:

um… huh? the CEO of Anthropic literally just published this essay as research lead after research lead in the industry has resigned over this exact concern about human extinction… darioamodei.com/post/we-must...

i'm far from an AI enthusiast, and am in general in favor of a Butlerian jihad, Faine. Just trying to see what exactly you're saying here, because it's pretty telling that the actual people running the industry are getting terrified by the contents of the bottle they've opened.

like, are the dumbass tech bros that _prop this shit up_ like that? absolutely. but the people running the industry, quite literally, are expressing that very same concern. so at best your point is valid and your target is wrong.
