Do you think destroying the planet is progress? These are jackasses doing more harm than good and they’re labeling their stupid visions as progress. Central planning is filled with issues, right? Well a few rich people shaping the world to their liking is pretty damn centralized.
You actually think some programmers and scientists creating a language model is destroying the world?
I’d say that belongs to the large investment firms, and the billionaires who decide to do things like bury climate data and push propaganda that climate change isn’t a thing for the last 100 years.
So you decided to focus on the chatbot mention in the comic while ignoring the entire overarching point of the comic? Someone who thinks as robotically as you should fear for their job.

Sam Bankman Freid’s brother, who was talking about buying an island to carry “effective altruists” through an extinction-level event.
It pisses me off that these are the first EA adjacent people that are broadly well-known, rather than Givewell and 80,000 hours, who are actually doing good work.
EA is primarily advice for people with moderate amounts of disposable income (i.e. middle class), or people trying to figure out their career trajectory. Earn to give is very much a minority position, and that’s pretty much the only one that at all involves aiming to be rich.
Longtermism is mostly a weird set of academics. the recent folks using it as a pretext to buy houses in the Caribbean are almost purely a group of cryptobros using it as a way to ethics-wash their pump and dump.

But hey, you do you champ!

No, I focused on the technology and said we should be attacking the billionaires not the technology.
Space travel and computer science isn’t destroying the world, authoritarians and the ruling classes are.
Using the technology, yes. They’re having wet dreams about using AI to replace people.
Im having wet dreams about that too.
Imagine human value decoupled from our labour. Every job we can eliminate is a win for humanity.
You recognize that billionaires are the problem but don’t see how they’re going to use this new automation to make things hell for the rest of us?
The problem isn’t the technology, it’s the system.
So direct your anger at the right target.
So why don’t we look after people if we have the means?
Who has the means? Why don’t they share and use their wealth to really help people and create progress?
And why do we let them act this way?
We as in humans, on Earth, right now.
Why? Because we’re under a dysfunctional system.

EA is entirely a scam.

Sounds like you’re still learning. There are assumptions baked into that, which only support the elite.

What am I presuming?
Nah, EA is alright if done properly. The “Longtermism” aspect is pure bullshit though.
EA is just PR. It’s a way to get rich while pretending to do good.
