Don’t get me wrong, this move from the board reeks of some grade A bullshit but this article is absolute crap. Is this supposed to be a serious journalism?
Thanks for sharing. That is… Weird in ways I didn’t anticipate. “Weird cult of pseudointellectuals upending the biggest name in silicon valley” wasn’t on my bingo board.
Imagine “roko’s basilisk”, but extended into an entire philosophy.
It’s the idea that “we” need to anything and everything to create the inevitable ultimate super-ai, as fast as possible. Climate change, wars, exploitation, suffering? None of that matters compared to the benefits humanity stands to gain when the ultimate super-ai goes online

I don’t know a lot about the background but this article feels super biased against one side.
Can somebody explain the following quote in the article for me please?

That was an entertaining read. Thank you.
Even better, though, was this linked article about humans running AI behind the curtain.
