    If you believe them, they are recklessly trying to create a digital God, which will then proceed to wipe out humanity out of sheer indifference.

    If you don’t believe them, they are fraudsters wasting tons of resources and causing shortages.

    So yeah, why wouldn’t you hate them?

    I bought a cheap fridge magnet with a cute cat on it eating noodles. My 19-year old son took it down from the fridge because “mother, that’s AI art, we don’t bring that into this house” (in my defense I had no idea). It’s in the trash now.

    The kids are alright.

      I agree with the sentiment but better to return it and get your money back. Throwing it out only sends a statement in your house. Getting your money back sends a statement to the store.

    “Young people holding perfectly reasonable opinions for some reason out of touch media organizations can’t understand”.

    Geez that’s an embarrassing headline.

    These CEOs are destroying the world these kids had learned to navigate, right when they were becoming adults. Welcome to the world, everything you’ve worked towards may now be obsolete. Good luck finding a job.

    One of my kids grew up wanting to work at Tesla, thought Elon was cool. Now they hate the man and company with a passion. Bought a Flipper just to harass Tesla owners by popping open their charging ports. (Proud)

    Oh, I can believe it. Good thing we live in a democracy, because that means these people won’t be granted control over the entirety of society, right? anakin-padme-2

    A future where nobody has to work because AI is doing all of it, would be great…

    “Nobody is working while we get to keep all the capital and fruits of labour”, is not the same though. If Tech CEOs want to claim their AI to be the fair and equitable solution to the future, they need to actively use a portion of the funds they raise to implement that future, instead of saying “government/people will figure it out or something, while we set this money pile on fire”, or “people will be paid in AI queries”. AI queries don’t put food on the table.
