Butlerian Jihad now
Last month, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman made a rare admission of what his future entails. Speaking to Bloomberg at the World Economic Forum, he acknowledged “we still don’t appreciate the energy needs of this technology.” The amount of energy needed to power his vision for AI would require an “energy breakthrough” that he had faith (not proof) would come, and in the meantime we could rely on “geoengineering as a stopgap.”
Sorry we what now?
“We need to keep funding the Wonka factory because one day they will invent the Everlasting Gobstopper and we will live in a post-candy-scarcity age.”
We build giant mirrors to reflect the baleful wrath of the daystar until we have time to crack and scale fusion, at which point we launch a full-scale war on Helios and take our place as the supreme power in the solar system. Super simple stuff, get with it.
Every tech bro should be sent to a rural farm to hand harvest wheat and battle chickens for eggs and carry water pails for a minimum 3 year re-education. I’m so sick of this dumb shit.
It’ll stop eventually. Probably sooner than later. The promises aren’t abstract enough to justify taking a loss for too long.
