The guy makes a lot of great points and we have a lot to figure out about present-day problems of overconsumption, AI slop, closed source, etc as a species.

LLMs are peak overconsumption, they’re everywhere I didn’t ask for it.

E.g. Zoom companion??? Why???

I did use to find the idea of an AGI singularity really interesting but current AI is already too destructive in some very miserable ways, and it feels like entertaining a futuristic scenario is in “cosy catastrophe” territory…
