  • Simple. It’s not only about how much they have, it’s about how much we don’t have.

    They also hate that the plebeians can do things they can’t, and they want the ability to do those things themselves, immediately, but without having to put in anything as low-brow as effort or practice.

    Up until now, they had to settle for paying lots of money to get those things and keep them for themselves—witness the art gallery scene—but this poses them two problems: they didn’t actually make it, and worse, they had to part with their precious money to get it.

    Now they think AI will let them make anything they want, do anything they want, and never have to pay artists or workers, so they can keep even more of their precious money.









  • I dunno man. That guy murdered a bunch of babies via plague, killed some kids via siccing a bear on them to maul them to death, wiped out almost all life on the planet because he didn’t like how the humans—a very small sect of life on the planet—was acting, slaughtered a city, denied man knowledge, and loves songs about babies’ heads getting dashed on rocks.

    Oh, and if he really is responsible for everything, then he’s responsible for creating a world where living beings have to kill other living beings to survive in the first place.

    Even if he’s real, I don’t think he’s worthy of worship. They claim he’s all-loving, but that love seems pretty darn limited and conditional.

    I much prefer Sir Terry Pratchett’s take: if there is a god, then it is up to us to become his moral superior.
