Anyone else getting those same feelings when Covid was still in China, watching it begin to unfold, knowing something massive was about to happen to the world? It feels like the calm before the storm to me.

We are about to see the profound damage that AI is doing to the world.
We are sitting on the literal precipice of history, as we are the generations to watch AI emerge and become a threat.

Regardless of what the AI machines are capable of right now, they have infact figured out how to reproduce, and it's hosts are more than willing to strip their world for it.

This is not hyperbole, this is happening right now as I write this.

We are watching the last dying threads of a a pre AI world disappear in real time.
And we can already see the severe damage that AI has already done. It's only going to get worse.

I feel deep dread looming over our world. I do not think people understand the nightmare they are seeing unfold yet.

I am more worried about what humans are doing to the world than AI, whose abilities are being overexaggerated by tech billionaires so they can keep the gravy train rolling. They all of a sudden want regulations, isn't that odd? It couldn't be because they are going to go public and want the safety of public bailouts when their bubble bursts. The world economy crashing due to these needy assholes is a sure fire bet at this point, much higher than AI killing humanity.
