Read this, and now remember that these are the people all over the news talking about the fictional "existential risks" of AI.

These are the people all over the UN, all over governments, including so-called "left" in the US.

These cults are the ones Bernie Sanders calls the world's "leading AI experts."

****trigger warning**** sexual violence.

I'm posting here what I had written to a news outlet in April during the whole Mythos hype ๐Ÿ™„ and people keep on being like BUT why are you not making CLEAR arguments against Bla BLa Bla? Cause I'm learning that its a trap to make me waste my time debunking claims while they get trillions to implement their dystopian future and we're stuck talking about whatever they're doing rather than implementing our visions. ๐Ÿงต

Friends, when I sent this message to my team laughing, I didn't know that this fairytale blog had been shared far and wide until someone asked me for a good source debunking this nonsense.

At a certain point I have to ask myself if I got all this pedigree and spent decades doing research and building things to then spend the rest of my life attempting to come up with good arguments as to why the Cookie Monster isn't real.

I'm not sure what planet we're living in at this point.

The random Effective Altruist troll paid by billionaires to push disinformation about the environmental impact of AI (that its fake), being platformed on the Time 100 AI list tells you everything you need to know about mainstream media's role in the pushing the broligraphy's propaganda and disinformation. This troll suddenly became popular through coordinated social media campaigns.
