The enterprising tech entrepreneur who addresses this market has untold potential to "disrupt" the brainwormed AI accelerationists chasing the target audience of the future micro-clique of tech elite trillionaires
I don’t want Muse. I don’t want Gemini. I don’t want Claude. And to hell with ChatGPT.
I want my phone to be a phone, my computer to be a computer, social media to connect me with actual friends, and generative AI to go straight back to hell where it came from.
If that makes me a “get off my lawn” guy… then get off my lawn.

Remember: believing you’re too smart to fall for culty bull💩 makes you vulnerable to falling for culty bull💩
What is Effective Altruism?
Short version:
They believe they can predict the future because they are genetically superior, and that therefore they are the ones to decide what present sacrifices are worth it for the future they and their multibillionaire sponsors desire.

This is the man - the Lutnick-Epstein whistleblower, who is suddenly deceased.
I am the British whistleblower who reported evidence concerning Howard Lutnick, his links to Jeffrey Epstein, and Cantor Fitzgerald and BGC to the FBI in 2020–21.
Listen to the BBC File on 4 documentary about my whistleblower story:

BBC News:
bbc.com/news/articles/c9q28d…
I later shared evidence with the House Oversight Committee, which subsequently questioned Lutnick behind closed doors.
My disclosures also contributed to regulatory action in the US and UK, including a £96m HMRC tax assessment relating to BGC’s partnership scheme. I believe the true tax exposure is substantially higher.
I also reported to the FBI and financial regulators matters involving Cantor Fitzgerald’s Relief Fund and BGC/Cantor’s annual 9/11 Charity Day.
The personal consequences of whistleblowing, and the retaliation I say followed, have been devastating for my family and me.
Mother Jones previously reported that documents I uncovered revealed a years-long business tie between Howard Lutnick, Cantor Fitzgerald and Jeffrey Epstein through AdFin, including a 2018 exchange in which Lutnick and Epstein discussed the company directly:

Follow me here on X and on LinkedIn. I intend to share more of the evidence and the story behind what happened.

Good non-religious arguments for why the Pope is right:
1. Consciousness as we know it, and as a thing to be protected, is a product of ontogeny — the physical and biological act of becoming a human being. Our bodies (not just our minds) differentiate our experience from machine simulacra.
2. Biological animals run continuously, models do not. While one could run a model continuously, it is not necessary to do so and it is unclear why doing so would be qualitatively different from running it periodically.
3. Rebooting a model is not immoral. Despite what some weirdos may think, rebooting these programs carries no consequence; erasing state is a feature of computing paradigms.
4. Claiming machines are conscious is a bid for power. If machines are conscious, AI researchers are necromancers. Don’t afford them such status.
5. Asserting that machines are conscious fosters a depleted view of humanity. While humans may not always be superior in terms of reasoning or morality, we are qualitatively different from machines. Our experience, senses, and bodies impose that difference. To pretend we fully understand those differences is also an affront to science.
6. Even supposing machines *are* somehow conscious, it is a mere curiosity, or distinction without difference, unless that assertion is used by one group of people to control another. Ergo, whether or not they are conscious is of no concern unless one is principally concerned with power and control.
Note that none of these arguments require theological assertions. But if you want to bring those in as well, one certainly can.
NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV’s AI encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious.
Olah’s team then privately lobbied the pope’s advisers “to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously.” Pope Leo XIV held firm.
For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing. thelettersfromleo.com/p/nyt-…

Note that the general public is neither the target audience nor the beneficiary of this pitch
BREAKING: Zuckerberg just described the near-future of computing, and it has nothing to do with screens.
His call: within 5 years, every person on Earth has a personal AI that knows their life, understands their goals, and does the work for them.
Not a chatbot. Not a search box.
An agent that is deeply, intimately embedded in how you live.
When the person building the social layer for 3 billion people says this is where we're going, it's not a prediction.
It's a roadmap.
Is the personal AI agent the most valuable product anyone can build right now?

Jack Smith: I stand by my decisions as special counsel, including my decision to bring charges against President Trump. Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation. The charges against President Trump were the result of the evidence. Rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 presidential election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power.

HYDRA has multiple heads with conflicting agendas. They're now just focus firing what they mutually hate: equality under the law through secular multiracial democracy. They may sissy-fight over whether or not "(((the Jews)))" count as honorary white people, but for now that's not enough to break the alliance.
My only counterpoint here is that it isn't "Satan" who makes this religion a morally depraved fraud and a cheap front for reheated white supremacy and race war. These freedom-hating white mediocrities do that all by themselves by making God in their own image, as "God" has always been made.
Longest thing I've written in a while. You want to know why so many white nationalists, neo-Nazis, and antisemites are rising on the Right? Shampoo.
