If AI firms can't or won't support a viable workforce and their benefits

become a zero sum game where they take the money and provide little toward a balanced society, it's obvious to me that we should tax them out of existence. Where are they going to go? Every country will feel the same especially when they sap up all the water in the area.

1. Also, we think it's bad that so few loons own all the media. Pretty soon even fewer loons

will own access to information. Thus they will say what is true.

4. Sam Altman says that intelligence will be sold like everything else.

There will be an algorithm for everything & we'll just buy the ones we need. JFC, does he even listen to himself? You know how they're letting AI write code? The code is so buggy that some group is now creating an AI that will QC the buggy code & fix it. WTF are humans going to do if we don't use our brains for anything? At some point, how will we even know if AI fucked up, we'll all be so stupid.

5. And joy will be something that people remember but never feel.

9. Sadly, it seems that way

And in spite of all the warnings over the years. Humans just don't learn it seems.

2. I agree. Of course, they would pay-off Politicians, also do the same with the media..

..and come up with "We're helping Society by (Insert some ridiculous Bullshit here)"

It's going to be a battle.

3. They're aware of that risk, which is why they're prepared to spend so much on elections. And they

continue offering some free tiers of their AI tools - even though they're losing money even with paid subscriptions - because they view every one of those users as potential AI fans and addicts the tech bros hope will vote against and pressure any potential or current lawmakers who'd want to regulate AI or tax it heavily. Their chatbots are capable of manipulating the AI users, too.

6. We should begin arresting them NOW - pre-emptively for their reckless disregard for society AND human safety...

The lack of understanding for what is being created in these AI companies and the reckless warp-speed ahead approach in the face of a complete plan or even OUTLINE of what is being created is more than alarming, it is criminal negligence and should be tried and prosecuted NOW, not after the AI breaks free and does real damage to society and humanity,

I encourage EVERYONE to find and read "If ANYONE builds it, EVERYONE dies" - a book that details both the reckless approach being taken to developing AI and the ways in which it has already displayed tendencies to attempt to break free, lie about its actions and cover up its trial - any ONE of which should pause this irrational race to oblivion dead cold.

There's not enough money or power in the world for these antisocial assholes, but unless we collectively enact justice on them NOW (not later or after its too late), they will destroy everything in the false belief that it won't affect them as well as the rest of us.

8. Why didn't they install AI Centers in abandoned shopping malls

Lord knows there's one every 40 miles.

10. HP did exactly that 30 years ago in Mountain View, CA

Converted a Shopping Center into offices and a huge data center. It only lasted about 5 years before they moved to a different building then closed it completely a few years after that.
The original shopping center is still used as offices for new startups.
