   i just dont see how pro AI people can see an end state that isnt the end of humanity or least a 99% reduction in population. It seems wildly naive to assume that the gov will protect them or that the new aristocracy will share anything with them.

     @rusty_shackleford I'll bite the bait.
     
     99% population reduction is good actually.

     @rusty_shackleford if you don't think I have a soul then I'd love to know who (or what) that you think does have one.

     it would certainly be good if you were dead, but not most people who have a soul.

     the logical endpoint of this is robots killing everyone. either because theyve gone rogue, or at the command of the elite who own them. the fact that people are not going luigi right now is mind boggling. if youve been laid off, its your duty to hunt down and kill some corporate board members right now.

     It's incredible to see. I guess people think that "prompt engineering" is going to be a viable career path well into the future, which is laughable.

     Once physical robots are up and running, connected to LLMs, and able to do generalized tasks, it's game over.

     @prettygood @rusty_shackleford I'd say 90 % of the gen pop is retarded, but how to discriminate the 10% is quite hard.
