     A quote that stuck out to me:

     "And even those who aren’t pulled in by Christian Nationalism or tech cults like Longtermism or Effective Accelerationism may fall for “Abstract AI Solutionism”—the belief that our best hope lies in scaling up AI to solve everything. But we already know how to stop killing the Earth. We already know how to reduce preventable deaths and crimes of desperation. The problem is that the solutions don’t serve billionaires—70% of whom made their fortunes in tech."

     @alcinnz Yeah. If there were a benevolent AGI, all it would tell us about solving all these problems is "guillotine all the billionaires".
