1. Audiogram with Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000 logo, title “Sam Altman’s Fever dream” and subtitle “The CEO’s vision of ‘superintelligence’-abetted abundance ignores the threat LLMs pose to global well-being.” Captions: ALEX HANNA: Dear Leader says, "Super intelligent tools could massively accelerate scientific discovery and innovation and in turn, massively increase abundance and prosperity." Just bullshit of the highest degree. We're recording this the second week of January, and at this moment, you know, we're seeing the massive devastation in LA County and the Palisades and Eaton fire. What we're also seeing is landlords now using it as an opportunity to extract even higher rents from people fleeing LA County. We're seeing insurers drop people right before their homes are burned. We're seeing this massive destruction and huge state failure. In what world would burning through all this carbon aid any of that increased abundance? We have the material necessary and it's a distribution problem. EMILY M. BENDER: Exactly. And abundance gets harder and harder and harder the more we make the planet uninhabitable.
