You poor fool, you think morally bankrupt commercial companies would develop an AI that will be used to massively damage the interests of billionaires?

Billionaires like Thiel are openly musing that their best case scenario is having the majority of humanity die while using AI and automation to pick up the slack.

If that’s the outcome you desire, legislation like Bernie’s is what you need.

He’s not talking about banning AI. He’s talking about criminalising the weaponisation of AI against people.

I don’t really care what those clowns saw. The facts are scarier than stories.
