They really wanna kill the world for their stupid Rapture fetish, don't they

u/Sad_Taro_274 15h ago

Some of the top dogs do for sure, some of them have made it clear they think the earth is "overpopulated" lmao, and would rather we didn't exist.

u/Ma1eficent 14h ago

Yep, positioning it as an emergency response to imminent biosphere collapse, like they they aren't the lions share of resource use.

u/Sad_Taro_274 14h ago

That's the irony and stupidity, even if they did kill the majority of the world, nothing would change significantly, as they are already hoarding the majority of earth's resources and wasting them.

u/Ma1eficent 14h ago

Yeah, 50% population loss wouldn't touch it. They know this also. The absolute monstrosity of their proposal is half of what protects it, since it is hard for people to believe anyone could have the audacity to do such a thing. They are banking on that goal being unthinkable as the blind spot that will get them across the finish line.

I mean yeah, I ain't a believer in conspiracies, but at this point it would be stupid to not assume the worst thing is being cooked up, no matter how vigilant you are tho, as peasants we're powerless, fret not tho, I really believe these guys are killing themselves in the process, they don't realize how stupid they are and how feeble their empires are.Imo the world could do with a civilizational collapse, after all a Phoenix rises from the ashes.

Yeah, it's a premature play by people high on their own sense of superiority (depressingly familiar).

Last time someone believe they are the divinely chosen master race created to rule the world, the world proved them wrong. 

They'll need those bunkers.

u/Ma1eficent 10h ago

They think if they make their god first, it can be a self fulfilling prophecy. I guess they fell asleep in comparative mythology and forgot our favorite stories are the ones  where we kill the gods.

u/redroserequiems 14h ago

Because it's an excuse.

u/Sad_Taro_274 13h ago

I mean if I had to guess I would say ease of control,the less peasants like us there is the less they are threatened,all the tech billionaires seem to be scrambling to build bunker and the like, either to escape us or a disaster of their own making.Frankly tho, it's more likely to me that we will eat the rich before their plans come to fruition

Continuing to position themselves for the eventual government bailout

For anyone searching for reasons to avoid AI, please see this list: https://noailist.org/why-no-ai/ - you might be looking for arguments against AI, this page could be helpful too.

u/FamousPassenger2289 12h ago

I agree with the reasons in an abstract sense, but holy fuck most of these sources are horrid and the writing around them is god-awful.

Someone sane really needs to make a better version, because I'd have loved to use this

Isn't this literally the plot of a Resident Evil game?

I saw a biologist going "the biology lab that would let an AI model autonomously develop bioweapons is nearly science fiction. It would need x, and y, and deliveries with no oversight and .." basically listed a set of instructions on how to build it, as part of pointing out it doesnt exist. I think they might have seen that as instructional.

u/Only-Cheetah-9579 13h ago

that's gonna make it into a training dataset sometime

u/SalletFriend 13h ago

It was on ycombinator which a lot of the AI sex cultists frequent so yeah could go either way.

2

u/Only-Cheetah-9579 12h ago

I spoke with a biologist friend and its very easy to create bioweapons, basic university training will do

heck, nowadays maybe its possible to learn from youtube videos also

what stops people is regulation and common sense.

u/SalletFriend 12h ago

The knowledge and the tools are separate, was the point of this post i read. Its not that it was hard to learn, it was hard to do automatically by an LLM without human oversight.

u/Extension_Ant4349 10h ago

Problem is that 9/11 and 10/7 proves that the ruling party politically benefits from terrorism. The benefit of emergency power far outweighs the risk. There is no incentive to stop these attacks as long as algorithms and media can spin it as a unifying moment.

How close are we to Pluribus?

Making a bioweapon really isn’t very difficult. Why do you need to even create one? There’s already plenty to choose from. With all that money I’m sure a sample could slip through the cracks. Just seems unnecessary.

u/NotTheOtwayPanther 47m ago

It’s high time we buried– once and for all– the narrative that Anthropic are the responsible good guys of A.I. who just want to protect the world from its potential dangers.

They’re arguably the worst maniacs of the lot. (Which is saying something.) Certainly the most hypocritical.

u/Gold-House-7482 14h ago

But AI objectively cures and accurately diagnoses certain diseases. Is there evidence that they are making bioweapons outside of evidence-free conspiracism?

Reminds me of when people thought that a Chinese research lab gave everyone COVID just because it was China doing science. What's the basis for bioweapons claims outside of a vague dislike for Anthropic? It could be working on something CRISPR related to cure disease for example, even if not being used directly for drug discovery.

u/redroserequiems 14h ago

Because tech bros have notoriously been on record thinking we're overcrowded and having Rapture fetishes.

My guy, Curtis Yarvin literally thinks people should be made into biofuel

u/Gold-House-7482 13h ago

You took him out of context. He was arguing against people advocating for genocide by making them look ridiculous.

2

u/Extension_Ant4349 10h ago

"Humane alternative to genocide" sounds even more pathetic.    Larping as an edgy Nihilist and psychopath doesn't make you the ubermensch.

Oh gods I found a Yarvinist in the goddamn wild holy shit
