The shit machine SCARES US EVERY DAY and we are 90% certain it will END THE WORLD but we continue to BUILD IT ANYWAY.
You cannot stop THE SHIT MACHINE, it is UNIMAGINABLY POWERFUL. It will BE YOUR DADDY, and you will say I LOVE YOU
This guy is so right we should do all of those things. Think of all the potential we'd waste if we did not make the shit machine and instead spent that literal $1,000,000,000,000,000 on rapid decarbonization grants, or buying and protecting rainforest with a global trust, or bioengineering killer bees that only attack billionaires. Unthinkable.
But that’s what AI is though.
This is exactly what it is.
You will all play A CRUCIAL ROLE in the INEVITABLE CLEANUP.
I feel so seen. Particularly by Flock. :-P
And also heard - by everyone else's phone.
