He's not entirely wrong. I can picture a better life without Altman, Bezos, Gates, and all the other billionaires.

Billionaire Extinction would indeed be our best case scenario. How do we make it happen?

    Real talk a politically inchoate shitlib or fasch adjacent moron with any time they see systemic power says that doesn't look like anything at all and can't conceive of building a better world gets so upset by the general horrors and oppressive everything that they attack them with like an intensely meme weapon of some sort talk to your lib friends I know they're incoherent and insane but they might just do some shit and the cops won't stop them until they're wearing the bandolier of throwing knives and backpack worn naval gun trying to sneak up on the billionaire

    It's the best case scenario because then only the ones who causes this mess get punished. The realistic version is that we're dragging most of the biosphere and millions of other species down with us, completely changing a stable Earth environment to something we're not even sure about.

    And we can blame his work in part for that acceleration, but in truth it was already heading that direction for decades, longer than most of us have been alive. It just took a while to see the evidence of damage, and when we did, it was covered up, turned into propaganda for profit, lied about, and mostly just shrugged as someone's future problem. Well, the future is now, and not much has changed, except the environment. Humans are stupid.

    This is kinda the plot of ghost in the shell.

    The question is if we think the singularity is inevitable and if it will be forced in someway.

    In any case, LLMs will not bring about the singularity, and we should be taxing this asshole.
