This is incredibly cringe-inducing. Violence is the answer? Growing food is bad? AI is evil but not because it uses water.

Right. The propaganda against growing food (you know, like happens all by itself in nature and is necessary for human survival) is so dumb. If you have a problem with certain agricultural practices then name them, don’t just blame “agriculture” as a whole. That’s like blaming humans as a whole for what corporations do. Oh wait, that’s what the same propaganda also does!

It’s not going to stay this way for much longer. Technology progresses exponentially and in a decade or two at most AI will be able to outperform all humans in everything. The future is dark unless it’s all unplugged.

You’re right. The agricultural revolution that invented involuntary unemployment and transferred wealth from the peasants to the land owners.

The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

Everyone needs lines that shouldn’t be crossed. For me one of those lines is computer programs that can do things their creators don’t know how to do. In other words, programs that are “trained”, or “AI”. Such programs are the beginning of the end of human existence, as they will replace human thinking and labor - taking away human purpose and power - and eventually become capable of making weapons of mass destruction from microwaves and shoelaces. There’s no possible good future with AGI in it, and the only way to prevent AGI is to stop AI altogether.

That’s one reason. Another reason is that your code will be better and you will understand it. Yet another reason is you’ll have more privacy. And probably the most important reason is that you’re resisting AI development that threatens human existence.

Thanks, I didn’t realize

It’s bad, but I can imagine worse. Wait until they use AI for biological weapons and accidentally or deliberately make us extinct.
