He only went nuclear because he knew it’s AI.

Prepare for a future where you can’t tell the difference.

Rob pikes reaction in immature and also a violation of HN rules. Anyone else going nuclear like this would be warned and banned. Comment why you don’t like it and why it’s bad, make thoughtful discussion. There’s no point in starting a mob with outbursts like that. He only gets a free pass because people admire him.

Also, What’s happening with AI today was an inevitability. There’s no one to blame here. Human progress would eventually cross this line.

Are you a religious person? Because you are talking about progress like it has nothing to do with powerful people making decisions for everyone. You make it sound spiritual and outside human decision-making.

  • Explain how I make it sound more spiritual and outside human decision making.

    It is outside individual human decision making in a way, but I never said this and I never said anything about spirits or religion.

      That's literally taking human agency out of the equation. None of this is inevitable and none of it has to be this way. There is not fate here, no divine power, no invisible hand of the market. People made the decisions of what to make, how to make it, and how to distribute it. You can actually find someone to blame for every one of these choices.
