One of the weirdest things to me about the tech scene for AI is you regularly hear variants on "Super-human intelligence is coming next year and will permanently alter life as we know it. Prepare your business and finances accordingly." Setting aside what you think about the first half, how does the second half make any sense? Like... what would you do differently, other than move to the woods?

The second half is what tells you they don't actually believe the first.
It's like a Christian proclaiming the immanent Rapture and investing in their 401k - their actions put the lie to their words.

@ZachWeinersmith I mean, I make food for a living, so unless the superhuman intelligences wipe out everyone who eats food I’m… not expecting my life to fundamentally change?
It’s never been clear to me if the people who make these kind of declarations have any understanding of the food chain beyond “and then my waiter brings it to me”.

It'd be like saying "the rapture is coming and the worthy dead will soon return to the bosom of Christ, so make sure to keep eating fiber"
@ZachWeinersmith @glyph regularity is important! You wouldn’t want to be raptured while on the toilet!

@ZachWeinersmith Be sure to wear clean underwear in case today is The Rapture!

Invest in eye drops in preparation for all the eye-rolling everyone will soon be doing.

It kind of sounds like 'write your will and kiss your ass goodbye'.
But first 'gimme money'.

I would prepare by giving the people who say this sort of thing a swirly and then stuff them into a locker.
