Food for thought - If I didn’t stand up for myself and make things possible for myself. I wouldn’t be a doctor and work in a field where I get to be part of the next medical innovation that may one day save yours or a loved one’s life.
OK, you get a point for responding.
What I’d like for billionaires to hear is that the vast majority of world sees chatbots and the impact they’re having as toxic. The elite class believes they have special knowledge that gives you the right to shove AI down our throats anyway.
But it is not a PR problem. It is not about your message. It’s about the rational pros and cons of making an existential economic, environmental, and cognitive bet on slop generators becoming sentient.
The fact that the industry oscillates between fantasies of abundance and doomer scenarios of extinction events doesn’t help. Your proposal sounds like: “Either it will take your job or kill us all. We’re in a hurry to find out which one whether you like it or not.”

Remember when the power grid was supposedly unable to handle electric cars or everyone running air conditioning, yet now data centers are suddenly "essential"?
Asked to respond to Hasan Piker's assertion that her bigoted smear campaign backfired, Mallory McMorrow inexplicably tries to link Piker to the attempted attack on Temple Israel Synagogue, while the host flags down a producer in apparent panic. 👀
I don't really know how to articulate it but the fact that Mr. Beast can do this (privately!) and experience close up what 10k does spiritually for a working dad, and yet he doesn't do this regularly and hasn't sold his things to give to the poor, is indicative of a rotten soul
