    I think if the rich kill everyone, they will also die.

    They have been preparing for decades, at least. You are free to believe what you want though.

    They want the Fallout games to become reality. It’s almost certain. Fuck all of that. Pushing the development of AI unsustainably in a way that other countries can mirror (e.g. China) is suicide for the country, besides them, and solidifies my belief.

      It doesn’t matter how long they’ve prepared. What’s coming will destroy ecologies in huge ways, possibly collapsing all megafauna and even things like insects which have already experienced significant population collapses. People need vitamins and micronutrients to live, requires a varied diet.

      We barely grow plants in space. Biosphere thing barely worked and needed outside intervention. We NEED earth. I say this as a person very educated in science- we NEED the planet intact.

      The Titanic sub was a preview of the hubris of the wealthy against science. They are genuinely so narcissistic they think they can conquer extreme natural phenomena.

      They particularly like AI because they believe it’s the perfect slave (and we are not because we can dissent). So yeah they will kill the world for it. And for oil, and for gold, and for money, and manufacturing, because capitalism requires capital be made and sought even if ot isnt efficient and people die. Capital above all else.

            Recent history has been nearly unpredictable for a while now. Thanks for chatting even if strong emotions flew around. I am not your enemy and we may have more common ground than initially thought. Take care.
