  1. Sam Altman will escape the AI instigated annihilation of mankind on his BIG property at Big Sur!? Dude … AI will take out all you FAKE touchy-feely, mystical, sex-tourists at the Ventana Inn … FIRST. You can sit in the communal hot tubs speaking Esperanto to each other … where AI will simply send 240Volts thru the jacuzzi jets … and you’ll all be reduced to crispy naked “floaters”. What a way to go, eh?

  2. Altman is another gay, transnationalist, transhumanist, psychopathic narcissist.

    Seriously, gambling humanity’s continued existence against shiny toys and feels is extreme hubris and should attract the attentions of Rhamnousia. There’s a difference between developing technology to advance humanity and developing technology to disrupt humanity.

    1. Those are his good points. ~:D

      Humanity’s continued existence is not at risk from AI. Or from any of the other OMG Emergency!!!! we’ve been sold for the last 60 years. It’s all BS, just relax.

  3. No. Progressive worldviews will lead to the end of the world. We’re almost there.

    1. l disagree. technology accelerates change at times warp speed.
      l got a kick out of doing some part time university courses (b4 it went ‘south’ with the wokism) telling the late teen early 20somethings what it was like with
      -no internet
      -no laptops
      -no cell phones
      -no CDs DVDs, Blueray or even VHS
      -no Sports Channel
      -no caller ID
      -no GPS
      -etc.
      the punch line? thats why my generation hung around smoking weed
      there was nuthin else to do lol

      and now look. AI aka oy oy oy keep me out of it

  4. The author asks “What’s the most sensible reaction to this?” Eye roll and “Whatever, dude.”

    Do any of you people out there still think “AI” is going to bootstrap itself to sentience and take over the world?

    Not.

    Going.

    To Happen.

    No chance, no way, no how. It is more likely that ANTS will bootstrap themselves to sentience in the next 20 years than this computer algo they’re calling AI. Ants have a head start, their operating systems actually work.

    Also, Sam Altman appears to be a titanic “marketer.” Epic in the volume and audacity of his “marketing.”

    So don’t worry about AI growing a bunch of chrome robots to take over the world. DO worry about “marketers” like Sam Altman scamming you on the stock market. That’s what is actually going on here. Its a huge pump-and-dump. Kind of like Canada right now, but bigger.

    1. It doesn’t have to be conscious to end the world. Humans will become dependent on a flawed program do something critical and it will fail due to human error.

      1. “It doesn’t have to be conscious to end the world.”

        You know, the Earth is pretty old. 3.5 billion years there’s been life on Earth. We’ve shrugged off a hit that tore away the entire moon, the dinosaur killer meteor, all sorts of catastrophic events.

        Western Civilization survived disco. If the entire Internet pukes today and stays down for years, it’ll be survivable. Maybe a little less fun, maybe a little more. Hard to say.

        You can relax, they’re just lying. Like always.

          1. “Survived disco! Dude … we THRIVED disco. ”

            We all claimed to hate it, but damn we got laid a lot because of it…:)

        2. Don’t get me started Phantom … as I am an aficionado of MORE than just psychedelic rock. Literally ALL music of the 70’s is like ridin in a great big Cadillac, diamond in the back … sunroof top … diggin the scene with a gangstah lean … gangster whitewalls alls llls

          but remember, brothers and sisters … You can still stand tall … Just Be Thankful For What You’ve Got …
          Right on … Right on … they just don’t make groovin music like this anymore

          1. I listen to nothing but Techno and 1950/60 surf music. Because I’m OLD and because I just started learning guitar after all these years. Secret Agent Man, Walk Don’t Run, Sleep Walk, these are my jam. I may not be Johnny Rivers, but that’s no reason to stop.

            Twangy Fender Strat played with a flanger and a distortion pedal, because I can. There’s nobody to tell me to knock it off now, baby. ~:D I go out to the barn and turn it up to 11. The dog likes it.

          2. How dare that pass me by. But I was full into post-punk new wave by then. Sweet cut … and anything with ELO! And ONJ… who can actually sing … and dancing girls. What a LIVE show!!

            If you like distorted guitar … the Kinks were essentially the pioneers in mangled sound. And this sweet tune almost has a surf rock bounce to it. If you can manage some basic bar chords … you can thrill your dog with this one …

  5. Either AI exterminates us for being a threat to the planet, or our Commie-yet-some-how-still-rich elites do.
    Maybe AI will at least let us have companionship, beauty, peace, entertainment, something amazing to read, music, beer, wings, steak and wine before exterminating us. Seems like commies want to remove all that from our lives before killing us off to “save the planet”.
    I for one welcome our AI overlords. They seem more benign and less malevolently hateful toward us ordinary folk than do our powerful leftist elites.

  6. S.K.Y.N.E.T. …. needs compact portable unlimited power supply ….. until then it is just a commie pipe dream!

    1. It’s funny how these dorks always forget that robots run on electricity. A Tesla gets about 200 miles range on a good day, how’s your chrome Terminator going to make out? Really -loooong- extension cord…

      1. OTOH …

        In the year 5555
        Your arms are hangin’ limp at your sides
        Your legs got nothin’ to do
        Some machine’s doin’ that for you
        In the year 6565
        Ain’t gonna need no husband, won’t need no wife
        You’ll pick your son, pick your daughter too
        From the bottom of a long glass tube whoa whoa

        They missed it by a few thousand centuries since all those things are happening by 2025

  7. What kills me is that all these media hits about AI and robots replacing humans actually show a humanoid robot replacing a human. What moron would automate a task with that inefficient garbage?
