@davidaugust Oh no, we've all stepped in it online. Thanks for owning it with maturity, David. You're one of the good guys.Meanwhile, I came here because I wanted to comment, simply, that this is first time I can ever remember agreeing with a pope.The thing the sociopathic techbros have lost sight of is the social contract that exists in a supposedly-democratic country - that government and laws work for the betterment of citizen's lives and that jobs and the economy exist to provide purpose to the people. Government and corporations that do not provide value to society have no legitimacy. Corporations are legal constructs not people. AIs are mathematical parlour tricks not people.This is why Sam Altman, comparing the resource costs of raising a human to that of training an AI, was such a bloody outrage.
