If we don’t destroy humanity, someone else will destroy humanity so we must ensure that we destroy humanity before the bad guys destroy humanity.

“The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed.”

@aral the weird thing is that so many Americans continue to fail to realise that America *IS* the problem and their talk of defence is laughable when we look at their propensity to create war - for the most villainous of profit reasons (or distraction from domestic political woes). The talk of enemies knows nothing of how the US so often creates and maintained them.

We need a world without superpowers…

“National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost.”

(Except us and our billionaire friends. We’ll be hiding out in our underground bunkers getting fellated by our AI tradwives.)

We gave you the Native American genocide, slavery, segregation, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Vietnam, forever wars, school shootings, McDonald’s and Elon Musk… what more do you want?

@aral you see that in everything from their world, the answers ALWAYS involve more military

@aral

some of the replies showing agreement with Alex Karp are a little disconcerting

i am starting to wonder if I'm in a bubble or if those fascism acolytes are in a bubble?

i had thought that americans were starting largely to regret the fascism they egged on

Both of them forgot about personal freedom and civil rights.

@aral Where fear of the other becomes a moral justification for creating destruction

@aral@mastodon.ar.al I implore everyone fellow US citizen that reads this; use Tor. For everything. If you are using an Android phone for most things, download F-Droid before Google prevents it. From there, there is an application called Tor VPN which makes every app you have open use Tor - VPN style. For (all PCs, Macs included) download and install the Tor browser. for iOS - I can't say because I don't know.

@aral That sentence was when I stopped reading the stupid manifesto

[sus@timeloop.cafe]

@aral it’s weird that their noblesse oblige is manifested via killer robots and compulsory military service for plebes instead of like housing and feasts.

@aral So if I understand well " our culture is in decadence and to be forgiven we must be worst than of what already are to extract resources and rule with power."
