    By his logic—we may as well just bury this guy alive, he’s just going to die anyways.

    These Google guys are such a disappointment. They could’ve done something inspirational, but what have they done?

    Did he also say “And do not quote me” the same way he did when he told people to just steal what they want and hire lawyers to clean up the mess if they were successful?

    Currently getting coffee, Viking Hippie says Eric Schmidt should go fuck himself with a rusty rail spike and keep his garbage opinions to himself.

    And if AI decided that the fastest way to make a difference with climate change was to guillotine all the billionaires, he’d be on board? Because I can save all that spend and tell him right now that removing that number of super polluters who consistently lobby against environmental protections would make a noticeable impact.

      Current “AI” isn’t really AI, more like autocorrect on steroids. “Real” AI will have the ability to program itself. Once we flip the switch on it’ll move so fast in complex, inhuman ways that we’ll never even be able to truly understand it.
