We really did take a wrong turn when we started treating #TechBarons (and their minions) as "thought leaders" who should shape policy and economy, rather than privateers who need to governed harshly!

Cuz I'm pretty sure that's how governments & taxation got invented in the first place: to coordinate the efficient design & delivery of public goods & services for the betterment of ALL.
Unfortunately we seem to prefer empowering feudal techbarons & oligarchs we could get rid of, if we chose to.

As far as immortality and mind uploading are concerned I know @philipcball.bsky.social is right. Are there even more destructive fantasies of techbarons than @philipcball.bsky.social describes here?
In this category I also include technologies of immortality, mind uploading, Martian terraforming, and suchlike: the future as envisaged by tech barons with scant knowledge of real science or connection to real scientists. Drexlerian nanotech is thus a cautionary tale.

OpenAI CEO also downplayed concerns about how much water datacenters require at AI summit in India
The OpenAI boss, Sam Altman, has tried to ease concerns about how much power is used by artificial intelligence models by comparing it to the amount of energy required by human development.
“People talk about how much energy it takes to train an AI model – but it also takes a lot of energy to train a human,” Altman told the Indian Express recently while in India for the AI Impact summit. “It takes about 20 years of life – and all the food you consume during that time – before you become smart.” Continue reading...

The fraud inherent to the LLMs is made apparent here.
Not only are they the wrong answer and slop machine, but they are the active lie machine. They are the destruction of thinking and knowledge, and they can be made to actively lie for the techbarons who own them
