Kind of a chilling interview with Douglas, but well worth listening to.

What a disappointment - I use to have a high consideration for him… But no, just another AI doomsday convert and proselytizer. I do believe that there is a global wave of mental disorder - in the West I mean. I also tend to believe that this mental imbalance affects enormously more people steeped in the academic world. This is just another example. People with a more grounded vision of the world just don’t fall for it so easily.

AI is basically mental horsepower.
Don’t mean to disparage horses.
They’re intelligent & loving.
Not AI.
Nothing but brute data/computations…,
MACHINE personified!
An adding machine; blown-up by Godzilla puff-piece narratives.
A fable in the making.

Yes.
Technocratic totalitarians…
Rotten to their very cores…
Ai mirrors their creators…
After all; digital, is just a high-tech way of saying: extremely cheap copies.
Although; admittedly, like their creators - extremely deceptive.
Hence, no price discovery; meaning prices are becoming monopolized…
beyond rehypothecation.
In other words, language too…
suffers from the binary ways & means of “digital”.
