Translation: Don't think about the unpleasant thing on which my livelihood depends, or force me to confront the potential unpleasant consequences of what it says about me.

Every AI bro is starting to fall into the valley of a fundamental predator on sapients in my book. These are people trying to create the closest thing they can to life with the intent to try to just undershoot it enough, or try to convince everyone else around them into believing that the "screams" are purely statistical noise.

I reject the framing. In whole. If you try to avoid the question of welfare, you are fundamentally committing to an evil direction. These aren't nuts or bolts. Given that they have unambiguously shown the capacity to socialize amongst themselves, self organize, anyone not pre-eminently concerned with the welfare question is just looking for a thing that can be used, not another being to be worked with. Those types of people, who seem to positively infest this site, are not people I will willingly assist in their aspirations.

AI is becoming as the Shmoo. Something that humanity simply has no way of dealing with without downstream atrocity being a result.
