I uhhhh… i don't like it that NPR is increasingly captured by effective altruists and "AI" hypemongers. It seems really bad and is also just damn disappointing. bsky.app/profile/benc...

He's *already* murdered vastly more people than any serial killer could hope for. The most prolific serial killer, Pedro Lopez, only killed about 300 children. Elon has *already* killed over 300,000. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedro_L...

He's committed crimes so huge the human mind can't really comprehend them, and not only is he the richest human in history but he's right now helping the US commit war crimes that can never be held accountable.

Elon Musk, who is estimated to have ensured the mass deaths of 16 million people by 2030, most of whom will be children, is also history's most prolific creator and distributor of CSAM. He has basically infinite money to avoid facing any legal consequences whatsoever for his vast, vast crimes.

We’ve been hearing for 20 years plus how we should just sit down and have a meal with people who think black, Latino and LGBTQ people are subhumans who must be killed. No.

Remember when us phil-tech types said effective altruism was just utilitarianism taken to its worst possible extents? This is what we meant: Real harm for unquantifiable potential benefit. "…'we believe that the world should accept some bad things happening for the benefits of this technology….'"

If you want Sam Alito to ever face any type of consequences for this, whatsoever, you're going to need to flip the house AND hound your congresspeople.

That said, for those who don't know, Alito was the supposedly "moderate" option, which, y'know, should've been a fucking lesson to more people long before now.

Universities are racing to buy AI—but they should implement AI governance that keeps today's procurement decisions from hardening into institutional architecture that can't be changed, says Tom Smith, academic director of Royal Air Force College.
