For me, this is the most depressing part.
So many of the technically competent individuals I know are just gleefully throwing their competency and credibility into this ‘AI’ grift chipper with utter abandon.
I can’t see a viable path through it, and whenever they’ve articulated what they see on the other side, it is beyond repugnant and I truly don’t see any benefit in existing in that world if it ever manifests.
We're cooked. Gotta fight back
That’s actually a pretty good idea. What if we started putting tech billionaires through the wood chipper? It could be like the American guillotine
There's is nothing too awful to happen to sundar Prichai.
No horrible fate could befall that man that would not cause me delight.
I’m imagining the next viral video trend on the order of “will it blend”.
Do they make a 2-stroke wood chipper? The planet can dank the damage and it’ll get the chuds on board /s
What do you call a private jet full of billionaires crashing into a mountain?
A good start.
They’d never agree to share the jet.
And just how are you suffering, Mr. Billionaire?
For the first time ever, his assets only warranted stealing 20 0% interest million dollar loans instead of hundreds. He's becoming a Poor!
“I was only able to buy 2 yachts and one jet. Last year I got 4 yachts and 3 jets.”
Well, can you imagine being given a million dollars and someone coming along and saying 'oh, sorry, you didn't withdraw that in time and now it's no longer there, and you owe use a $100 transaction fee'. That would really suck, wouldn't it?
Now imagine that happening 10 times a day, and you can start to imagine how horrible some of these billionaires feel every day!
Of course to make it more realistic, your job wouldn't require you to actually ever come into the office or do anything, they would occasionally double or triple your salary based on the stock market, and instead of it being a million dollars, it would be a dollar or so every once in awhile and you wouldn't know what the transaction fee was because it is effectively less than a rounding error on your current balance. Also banks will loan you money and just write it off if you don't pay it back with no impact to your credit score.
I think we can all agree, we should put people like this in the wood chipper and unboubtedly the world would be a better place.
The billionaires want to build industrial wood-chippers to get rid of us en masse, meanwhile individual sized wood-chippers already exist.
Bingo

Sounds like on of these.
I've got about $100 I can afford to fund this endeavor.
I don't see a stat for how many billionaires it can shred per minute. Any idea?
Agree. AGREE?!
Well, firstly, I want to know are you a namby pamby "make it quick, put them head first in to the woodchipper" person.
Or a steely eyed "make the parasites suffer and go feet first and make them watch it happen" type.
If we are going to agree on anything then we need to agree on these fundamentals!!
Why don't we compromise and put them in arm first?
I am for head first.
There is no benefit for other's suffering. Just make it quick.
That's one thing I really liked about the first John Wick movie. No drawn out revenge torture, just a quick bullet and walk out. No need to take some kind of sick pleasure in it, there's a job to be done.
Now that's not to say I won't enjoy some feel-good thoughts about the whole thing, but I just don't take pleasure in making a death slow and painful.
Dick first
Head first, but the line up to the top has a really good view.
I'm sure he's suffering through it.
Not if the people trying to force it on us go in to the chipper first.
As long as the tech Bros and the CEOs suffer first and the most I'm okay with it.
This type of stuff is exactly why I am moving all of my accounts away from Google. Google is now as bad or evenworse than Microsoft.
To where?
For me - self-hosted.
That ascribes far too much agency to AI. It's people like him who are putting society through the woodchipper.
It actually ascribes too much agency to individuals.
The technology is out there, there's no shoving this back in the box. No matter what individuals decide to do, only laws will regulate this, and only laws that can be enforced.
Even if the US decides "no AI" a bunch of other countries are going to laugh at them, and then use AI to beat America at pretty much anything that can take advantage of AI to improve it.
It would be no different than a country refusing to use electricity or automobiles.
Where is Alphabet at on creating robot infantry? Not sure if ads are going to save them from societal woodchipering:
Google sold Boston Dynamics to Hyundai a few years ago. I wonder if they regret it...
I'll suffer if he goes through the woodchipper
2 steps ahead of you, boss. Locked and loaded ready for the Terminators already.
I’d love for him to have to suffer through… everything, really, if I’m being honest, given what he’s helping to do to humanity.
I'm just giddy with excitement. /s
Nope. Not all
