@superball We'll see.

I'm opposed to what we currently call AI on so many grounds, but even if I turn off my ethics (which in itself takes more energy than I have some days) and hold my nose, I don't see it making me more effective than I would be otherwise.

And when it comes to troubleshooting and debugging, I am John Fucking Henry.

The worst part about it is that the oligarchs are going to burn the planet in pursuit of actual clothes for this emperor. Their claims of "AI will solve the climate crisis but we're in a race to get to AGI while there's still time" are completely empty. They're not trying to rush AGI to solve the climate crisis. They're trying to rush AGI so they can maintain their lifestyles in a future when the planet can only support a fraction of the current population.

Hollow men wasting our lives' blood sprinting through the sand at a mirage.

(edited to make it more clear that, while the planet can currently sustain our population, that will not be true in the future the oligarchs are driving us toward)
