"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Or more accurately, some kind of blend of a bizarre neo-mystical cult steeped in a wide variety of utterly nonsense conspiracy theories.

How long will it take for this cult to have its first mass casualty event, I wonder? We truly live in the stupidest timeline.

Yep, See the Behind The Bastards episodes about Effective Altruists, Sam Altman, and the Zizians.

They literally think that by doing everything possible to bring about superhuman general intelligence, the new AI god will fix all of our problems and save more lives in the future than it's worth spending money on other programs to save lives right now.

It's olympic-level mental gymnastics but some are throwing serious capital behind it.
