The reason we don't believe they are engaging in good faith is because they never have before. It's called "pattern recognition".

I am not worried software is suddenly going to decide it wants power over humanity. I am worried about what people who already have power over humanity can do with that software.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

This, combined with "vice signaling" (taking pride in antisocial behavior) has given us the reign of the Stupid Asshole, something most people are against, but can only be remedied if we're not too polite to talk about it

‘she blurbed … Tolkien’s The Return of the King, … applaud[ing] the book as “super science fiction”. To her, the labels of genre were never rigid. Hobbits and elves were all of a piece with Martians and spaceships. Why not? In her first (historical) novel, the main character turns into a wolf.’

Doing a basic calculation using a chatbot instead of a calculator uses between 2.5 million and 62 million times more energy. And using chatbots for calculations is *extremely common* - the companies have marketed these systems as general purpose, everything-apps!

Microsoft, to its billions of customers: You must use this product to be hired or promoted. It is the future. We are spending billions per day, choking the rest of the economy. You cannot avoid it. You cannot uninstall it. It is risky. Do not rely on it for anything important. It is a toy.
