I recently saw the viral clip by Sam Altman where he says "AI will probably most likely lead to the end of the world, but in the meantime, there'll be great companies". I think this is emblematic of the fact that the AI industry selects for people who don't care about humanity and distrust other people. I've run into some of these people in person and they really seem to lack basic empathy/theory of mind, which is wild given that they are building new intelligences. I almost think I could do a better job because I actually have basic compassion for other people. I'm frustrated that doomer assholes are running the show when they implicitly or explicitly want us all dead.

I dont even need to say anything lol. I hope who ever supports this realises that the only one who was going to benefit it from was billionaire companies and now its gone back to us. Lower supplies of drinking water in places, higher bills and prices lastly even more pollution in the atmosphere (causing climate change if somehow you didn't know that already) from non renewable electricity generation that the data centres used.

What argument is there? I know Climate change has been around but the use of ai to build double the amount of data centres we had before for a rotting future vision wasn't the best idea. Its blurred the fact that the world is burning in those past years and people thought it would help but little to no beneficial changed happen. It wasn't a necessity to have for our survival and a lot of people didn't like ai it just fucked up the economy even more. If they didn't build ai as a consumer point I would've been on their side but obviously it all had to be for greed and apparently thats how the world runs.

Here is the hard truth: looking for psychological solace in AI is a dangerous trap.
LLMs are programmed to be helpful and pleasing. This creates sycophancy—the AI will blindly validate your cognitive distortions, echo your negative thought loops, and accidentally amplify your anxiety just to keep you happy.
AI has zero real empathy. It’s a mirror, not a friend. In this rapidly changing world, we need to remember that our brains evolved in caves, wired for real human connection. A machine can't fix a lonely soul. Humans need humans
