The singularity won't happen because sticking a cron job in front of an LLM and telling it to do something (make money) is "silly"?

I am no philosopher but https://poc.bcachefs.org/ seems conscious.

It's not.

It's no more conscious than running that cron job to send you today's weather. That's as far as I understand what this link is. The agent is posting blog updates and such. Because it was told to. It has no will. LLM generative output is incredible. It's also not conscious.
