my messages are so gloomy because i am heartbroken, that given a technological miracle again, we could snatch tragedy from the jaws of our emancipation.

will you not see that people could be truly empowered and yet will instead be oppressed?

maybe that's because the doom and gloom is the transparently correct outcome?

Right let's give those AI companies a break, it's not like swarms of autonomous agents are committing felonies

Please tell me how AI is going to make regular people's lives better. You optimisitic types keep saying "just wait, its going to cure diseases" without any outlook on how thats going to happen. You're actually just repeating marketing jargon from AI companies who want people to think they're going to possibly live longer if you let them build more datacenters, so they can make another 30%. Its all about money, thats it.

It seems to me that it is making everyone (including myself and the researchers we need to cure diseases) lazy and dependent on thinking machines owned by tech companies. Just how autocomplete and gps made us worse at spelling and navigating, llms make us less able to exercise our ability to think and problem solve. This will have 100% strictly negative consequences on you and the world as a whole. .

And even if there was a cure to many diseases the eugenics types who are embedded in worldwide power structures definately arent going to share that universally.
