We need a new "Left Behind" book series where AI fans have all uploaded their brains to a computer to achieve the next level of consciousness, and the rest of us get to rebuild the world without them.

America is so gun-crazy that even the Weather Service is giving away bullets for free!

@laveur@meow.social @atkelar@meow.social We need to somehow encourage VCs to be more human-centered in their support of tech projects, to invest in humans rather than machines (especially plagiarism machines).

@cheetah_spottycat@toot.cat Even if this is faked, I get the impression that there's probably a lot of people working at Google who voiced objections to rushing out AI, got overruled from above, and just decided "Fuck it! Push to prod! Let's show the world exactly what this is." ...hoping that humanity would eventually realize just how stupid and overhyped the endeavor really is. And if they keep their head down they'll keep their job.

@laveur@meow.social @atkelar@meow.social The "C" doesn't require you to strive to be the top of the financial world. That's just the current, unsustainable focus. Capitalism kind of requires a healthy consumer base for long-term sustainability, and replacing everyone with AI is not exactly conducive to that.
A lot of business decisions are currently focused on just making the next quarterly report look good and not the long term. I don't know how you change that attitude.
Not hiring sociopaths for CEOs would be a good starter, but why are they getting placed in these positions in the first place?
