Have you considered that the march of progress requires human blood to grease the gears and mulched skulls to pave the (highly efficient) road? Really, when you take into account all of the future lives this will improve and save it's difficult to claim any cost now is too high. Would you stand in their way and delay the day that Mythos cures cancer?
This is a joke. Read it in a mocking tone.

I wonder what percentage of GDP expenditure will give us SkyNet.
Undoubtedly, it will find cures to all cancers… The ARR and stock appreciation will be amazing. Except the cures will be found long after it has wiped out all humans.
Wiping out all humans _is_ the cure.
Not Anthropic, but Sam Altman - AI will solve climate change and cure all diseases.
My favorite claims are that it will solve both aging and death, whatever that means.
AI is the new religion, and one needs to be stupid to believe it.
Already so many people are treating it as a higher being, believing whatever that comes out of it
That implies you don't need to be stupid to believe the other ones.
I'm not saying human blood and mulched skulls are a renewable source of power, I'm just saying. Or maybe they can partner with SoulCycle to power computation with 24/7 spin classes?
And people called the matrix’s human batteries far-fetched.
Always felt like it would've made more sense if it was using part of the peoples' brains to do their computation, as super energy efficient computers.
