"AI is a highly disruptive technology with negative downstream effects" is correct

"AI is so highly disruptive that we need to smother the machine god in its crib" is insane and if you genuinely believe this your future involves an FBI raid after purchasing large quantities of industrial fertilizer

What's weird is you can want the end of AI without ever making it weird like that lol.

The unabomber is also nowadays praised and put in the same category as Luigi for what is worth. Since they are anti system and anti elites or whatever

Read the comments under a documentary about the Unabomber and people really just wanted to praise him over nothing.

Dude saw the existence of street lamps and thought it was a direct attack on freedom. He lived off the grid cause he was hyper paranoid. It's beyond silly lol.

I wasn’t aware of people doing that but I can kind of see why given that someone who survived one of his bombs (Gelernter) went on to become friends with Jeffrey Epstein lol.

He was still teaching at Yale until the last batch of emails came out.

So do all these people talking about the ‘Butlerian Jihad’ as a reference mean from the original series? Or the one Butlerian Jihad from the expanded Dune universe? Either way it’s stupid, but it’s bothering me.
