Nonsense. You were very clear.

I wouldn't have any problem with you being interested in this tech if it wasn't driven by spite. Lots of people manage this.

But you said

> After reading some of the outraged comments here, I'm even more excited.

The reason you gave for excitement was the upset it causes others. There are people who like AI who aren't driven by malevolence, but you're not one of them.

>the upset it causes others

So, what's the "upset"? Why is anybody here upset about what we're doing/I'm doing? I'm not backtracking on anything, I'm doubling down.

>malevolence

lol. lmao even.

  • People are upset for lots of reasons, but that's not actually important for this discussion, which is about the fact that your support for AI is apparently conditional on them being upset rather than any positives about AI.

    That's weird; fans of [almost anything] don't do that.

    • >that's not actually important

      Yeah, let's just ignore the bit where we're minding our own business, pursuing what we want, yet you feel the need to bark stuff like "dehumanizing and revolting" at us.

      >rather than any positives about AI

      I'm a huge supporter of AI. I want this stuff. If this upsets you, I like it even more.
