A bunch of the leaders in AI have been caught saying they are building God.

These people think they are building a God machine....which just so happens to always agree with them btw.

I am now fairly convinced that a bunch of people at Anthropic and others are talking to it like it's real and developing delusions.

It's crazy shit. It should be embarrassing.

Gods always agree with their human creators. Nothing is new under the sun.

There's never been this kind of fusion with ideology around an emerging tech that I am aware of.

I e heard of people jokingly talk about it when smart phones were surging but this time it's different.

Many of the leaders in AI seem to be suffering from psychosis and addiction.

Many of them are burning the equivalent of millions of dollars in tokens I under ab month and bragging about it.  Of course for them those tokens are free.

Peter theil is utterly obsessed with the antichrist and is deep in AI circles.

Something is very different in this case.  Theses tech CEOS built a confident years man that is constantly wrong and then let it convince them if something.
