> if we don't do something NOW
We are doing something now. We're making it so the AI does it all better, so we don't have to do it anymore. Gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet, but it's going to be a delicious fucking omelet when it's ready. I don't understand why people are pushing back so hard on making the world a better place. I personally can't wait until it's clankers all the way down.
Whether you agree or not, if you seriously can’t understand why people might be existentially (or economically!) anxious about the thinking machines, you may have already outsourced too much of your thinking to them.
